"It's important to keep in mind that while 185/8 is finished, we still have around nine million recovered IPv4 addresses in our available pool. Under current policy and growth rates, we expect these to last a further two years."
They've really cracked down on IP allocation since the days of giving companies entire /8s, or even since 2012
"185/8 was allocated in just five and a half years...in comparison, the preceding /8 - allocated under the old needs-based policy - lasted only five months"

- isostatic 9y agoI recently got 3x /25s delegated from various ISPs in various cities, they wanted IP allocation plans
- jlg23 9y agoWell, looks my memory got corrupted over the last 2 decades: apparently not the correct number. Anyway: You had to specify purpose once and provide an allocation plan for the periods I mentioned above.
