[arin-ppml] quantitative study of IPv4 address market

[Blake Dunlap]

Mike,

I am not trying to say that you are wrong here, but that actually isn't an
unheard of case. There are several large organizations off the top of my
head that exist as such, with the DoD as probably the prime example.

Also, even using RFC 1918 space doesn't mean you have unlimited IPs. You
have to keep in mind scalability of route protocols etc and hierarchical
routing. Even medium size companies have issues with running out of RFC
space, ESPECIALLY if they offer primarily net services like Microsoft
would, and need to interconnect with other organizations.
