[ppml] Question

[Harsha Narayan]

Hi,
  Do you mean that if an RIR uses up 80% of a /8, it gets a new /8 from
IANA?

However, I found that 6 out of ARIN's 17 /8s were below 80% utilization.

The numbers for RIPE and APNIC are 3 out of 9 and 2 out of 9 respectively.

Why is there a difference?

Thank you very much for your reply.

Harsha.
