[arin-ppml] ARIN Response to AFRINIC on Policy compatibility

[Mike Burns]

I forget where the original numbers came from, but with a total of 130,
obviously many /8s are missing.
Probably this count is not considering legacy space, most of which is North
American.
Including those legacy addresses, the supply for much of the transfer
market, the ratios are much more in ARIN's favor.

Regards,
Mike
