I can't find the tool that I used to work it out before, but cutting out the top 100 AS globally would allow the rest (somewhere around 40k IIRC?) something like 14x the number of IPs they have currently. I don't know about you, but that is an insane amount of growth, even in the budget VPS/DSL worlds. <br>

    Yes, while it's certainly not a solution, you can't say that the
    equivalent of 200,000+ unallocated /24's is of no use to some
    networks right now.  I'd put my hand up for a few more.  This would
    be another /22 for every AS, with some to spare.  <br>

    One could argue that feeding the IPv4 pool removes the incentive to
    go dual stack, but we already have gone dual stack and still have a
