<p>The in-region usage should not be neither /22 or /24 but +50%

<p>It does not make sense to get resources from ARIN and use most
of it in other regions. If you have a bigger need in other
region ask (or transfer) IPs in the region within the respective
RIR.<br>
IP space is organized in Regional Internet Registers for a
reason, to be used for the reality of that region, to develop
the internet in the region. It doesn't make sense to take
resources from one region and use completely in the other.
Otherwise it is too easy and flexible to choose the more
flexible and cheap RIR but use resources in a different region.<br>
Policies that are developed and apply to those IP space are
developed taking into consideration the reality of that region
internet ecosystem.<br>
</p>
<p>Using a smaller amount of that IP space for auxiliary proposes
is accepts (an international link, a ARIN customer that also
needs connectivity somewhere else in another region, etc). But
not majority of it.</p>
<p>I think people need to learn how to live with fewer IP
addresses and make the best usage of it.<br>
If majority of that assigned IP space is required in another
region, then just transfer it.<br>

Hi Fernando,<br>
You explained it as it should be understood.<br>
Thanks; brother!<br>
<br>
These are simple concepts; for a reader: <br>
|- <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020">RFC 7020
- The Internet Numbers Registry System</a><br>
|- <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7249">RFC 7249
- Internet Numbers Registries</a><br>
|- <a href="https://www.nro.net/about/rirs/">Regional Internet
Registries | The Number Resource Organization</a><br>
<br>
Regarding an acceptable percentage for out <br>
of region usage (ooR) of INRs (Internet Number <br>
Resources); imho ARIN service region can easily <br>
afford more than 50% (i understand: at least <br>
60); but the AfriNIC service region can simply <br>
not. What i could support for service regions <br>
like AfriNIC or LACNIC, is at least 80% of within <br>
region use of the given INRs...<br>
<br>
...also, it should not be a matter of IPv4 only :-/ <br>
Thanks for considering also IPv6; as at least ASN <br>
is a very distinct case.<br>
<br>
What matter for me, is to have a story shared <br>
by few of these small CDN service. <br>
How can we really help them?<br>
If any of those who operate these service could <br>
comment here; then it would be easier to catch <br>
(i) their real need and (ii) the barriers they fare <br>
facing.<br>
<br>
Remain blessed; y'all!<br>
<br>
Shalom,<br>
