John,
Steve - That information might indeed be useful in understanding the
potential importance of the issue historically, but would not be an
indication of the need going forward unless one presumes that the
demands in the past for transfers reflects the future rate of
transfers - this quite unlikely given that some RIRs (e.g. ARIN) are
about to run out of their regional IPv4 free pool, which will result
in significantly more folks going to the market to meet their needs...
(If you are curious about the historical statistics on IPv4 transfers,
I believe that each of the RIRs have this on their web site, ARIN’s is
here - <https://www.arin.net/knowledge/statistics/transfers.html>)
FYI, /John
I agree that the frequency of v4 resources might change as a result of
exhaustion
of that space on a regional level. A cursory look at the transfers
listed at the URL
you provided would support that projection. But, I'm especially
interested seeing
which transfers are for live vs.unused space, since the implications for the
ordering of events are very different. I don't see that info on this page.
We also need a sense of how many CAs would have been involved in
previous transfers,
as an indication of how complex the transfer procedure will be in the RPKI.
Steve
