[arin-ppml] Set aside round deux

[Owen DeLong]

I did read it... A little math...

Let's assume you're trying to use this for NAT64 boxes... At an estimated 5,000 customers per NAT64
box (most people I've talked to are talking between 8,000 and 80,000 per box), to qualify for a /20
using a single /32 per NAT box, you need 4,096 NAT boxes or at least 80% of 20,480,000
which works out to 16,384,000 customers in order to justify a minimum allocation under this policy.

If you think that small providers have 16,000,000+ customers, we have radically different ideas
of what constitutes small.

In the case of someone who can’t qualify for roughly a /24 every quarter of $long time span, going to their upstream for help seems reasonable. In doing that we help to keep their costs down as well.
