It's not the only option, PI blocks may still be acquired: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/transfers/ipv4/transfer-of-assigned-pi-space https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-655#IPv6_PI_Assignments > with the result that we erode the free pool faster > (i.e. allocating /22 when a /24 would be more than adequate.) The simplest way of slowing down the allocation rate is probably to reduce the allocation size from /22 to either /23 or /24. Tore
