I've made some changes to the wording of the policy. First of all I've made the use of the HD Ratio optional. Secondly, I've decided to use the natural logarithm in the calculation because PERL has this and not the base 10 logarithm. The end result of the ratio calculation is identical, but now people will see that is clearly is easy to add the calculation to PERL IP address management systems. The Excel function LN(x) is the same as PERL's log(x). And lastly, I've pulled out the mention of reassignments since any definition of utilization belongs elsewhere and this was getting too close. 1. Anyone who has already been allocated 4096 IPv4 addresses or more may choose to have additional requests for IPv4 addresses evaluated using an HD (Host Density) Ratio calculation to determine sufficient utilization instead of a fixed percentage threshold. 2. All requests for additional IPv4 address space subject to the HD Ratio shall require the efficient utilization of the sum total of all existing allocations. The HD Ratio on the sum total of all existing allocations must be greater than or equal to .966. 3. In addition, the HD ratio of the most recent allocation must be greater than or equal to .930. 4. The HD ratio is calculated as log(utilized IPv4 addresses) divided by log(total addresses in all previous allocations). In this formula, log refers to the natural logarithm. ------------------------------------------------------- Michael Dillon Capacity Planning, Prescot St., London, UK Mobile: +44 7900 823 672 Internet: michael.dillon at radianz.com Phone: +44 20 7650 9493 Fax: +44 20 7650 9030
