Re: IP renumbering timeframe

Since I run a small AS :

I like this idea.

Since I believe in living dangerously :

I also think that a /64 should be reserved in the IPv6 address space, and (32 bit) ASN's should be given their own /32 in a GLOP like fashion for IPv6.

I'd be mildly concerned that people would see "free IP blocks" and start
using them even when not necessary. I think allocating them a /24 from
this block only when they have demonstrated need, and don't have any other
ARIN assigned blocks, would be far more efficient.

Since the goal is to reduce paperwork, I'm not sure about 'demonstrated
need', but I could definately endorse "you get a /24 with your ASN if
and only if you have no other registry assigned space assigned to you".
I specifically exclude provider allocated space, as I'm assuming the ASN
goal is to multihome.
