Not necessarily. There was a proposal passed at ARIN and I have a similar one proposed for APNIC where you can request a second allocation should you need it for a variety of justification. For example: disparate non-connected networks under a different AS's. This is the one that is bothering me at the moment. ...Skeeve -- Skeeve Stevens, CEO eintellego Pty Ltd - The Networking Specialists skeeve@eintellego.net / www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383, Fax: (+612) 8572 9954 Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 / skype://skeeve www.linkedin.com/in/skeeve ; facebook.com/eintellego -- eintellego - The Experts that the Experts call - Juniper - HP Networking - Cisco - Brocade - Arista - On 2/02/11 3:05 PM, "George Herbert" <george.herbert@gmail.com> wrote:

We had a small ramp up in December (about 25% increase) but that is within reasonable variation. Today was a little different, though, with 4 times the normal request rate... that would be a "rush".
Any trending on the rate of requests for IPv6 prefixes?
More interesting would be re-requests - organizations exhausting an initial allocation and requiring more. People asking for the first one just indicates initial adoption rates.
Other than experimental blocks, I am generally under the impression that IPv6 allocations are designed to avoid that being necessary for an extended period of time. If that is not true, then that's a flag.
