    "Utilization Rate" is another term that didn't really make the
    transition to IPv6 - along with "CIDR", among others.<br>
    <br>
    There are huge great swaths of unused space in every IPV6 LAN I
    assign - and huge great swaths of /64 LANs that go unused in every
    Site Allocation I assign. If I put devices on one in a million IPv6
    addresses in a LAN, i'd still have 18 quadrillion hosts....and one
    helluva MAC flood.....<br>
    <br>
    A "Good Utilization" of IPv6 space might measure in the millionth of
    a percentile - how do you differentiate it from someone who's NOT
    using their space at all? When is 0.0000000001 != 0?<br>

            <div>HI all,</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I’m often told that there are no stupid questions… to
              that, I say, hold my beer :)</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>With this discussion about IPv4 allocations, the
              waiting list, and migration to IPv6 (which, as I
              understand it, is still a priority), has there been any
              proposal or discussion about requiring IPv4 requesters to
              commit to IPv6 migration?</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I’m not thinking about 4.10, which addresses
              facilitating migration to IPv6 for those starting that
              process. I’m thinking about something akin to the
              utilisation rate clause, where allocations depend on
              actual/future promised usage. Not a proposal, just a
              background query.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I searched the archives and haven’t found anything
              quite as specific as that, hence my question.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>One other observation. In the NRPM, it is written:</div>
            <div> </div>
            <div>- 4.2.1.3. Utilization Rate</div>
            <div>- 4.2.3.4.1. Utilization</div>
            <div>- 4.2.4.1. Utilization Percentage (80%)</div>
            <div>- 4.3.3. Utilization Rate</div>
            <div>- 4.3.6.1. Utilization Requirements for Additional
              Assignment</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>
              <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">4.2.1.3. is a *statement*
                and all the others are *requirements*.</div>
            </div>
            <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
            </div>
            <div>Should these be clarified as Utilisation Rate for the
              statement and Utilization Percentage (X %) for the
              requirement, or similar, i.e.,</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>
              <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">- 4.2.1.3. Utilization Rate</div>
              <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">- 4.2.3.4.1. Utilization
                Percentage (80%)</div>
              <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">- 4.2.4.1. Utilization
                Percentage (80%)</div>

            </div>
            <div>- 4.3.6.1. Utilization Percentage (80%) Requirements
              for Additional Assignment ?</div>
