Oh btw, how many ipv4s are you hording with zero justification to keep them? I was unpopular during apricot for not liking the idea of no liability leasing of v4. I don't like this artificial v4 situation every eyeball network created. Why is v4 a commodity and asset? Where is the audits. I can justify my 6 /14s, can you still?
That ship sailed a long time time ago. Can some IPv4 space be recovered by 'auditing' consumers of IPv4? Possibly. Does the amount of space that would be recovered justify the effort (economic, administrative, legal, technical)? No. IPv6 is the way to go. All of these 'Hail Mary' options for 'saving' IPv4 really are pointless. Don't forget that IPv4, in the form we know it, was never intended to go into production. It's a lab experiment that grew legs and got out of its cage. jms

Millions of IPs don't matter in the face of X billions of people, and XX-XXX billions of devices - and this is just the near term estimate. (And don't forget utilization efficiency - Millions of IPs is not millions of customers served.)
Do IPv6. /TJ

As someone growing in the end of ipv4, its all fake. Sure, the rirs

run out, but that's boring. Don't believe the fake auction sites. Fair price of IP at the end is $1 for bad Rep $2 for barely used, $3 for no spam and $4 for legacy. Stop the inflation. Millions of IPS exist, there is no shortage and don't lie for rirs with IPS left.
