But that said, just because ARIN is exhausted doesn't mean PA space is exhausted so there will be addresses available though it will be tight.That is exactly what the last 5 /8's are for as I understand it.
Not necessarily. It's up to each RIR's policy. ARIN has no such policy. The other regions generally do not have such a policy.
The last 5 /8's will be allocated to each RIR immediately and I think by now every RIR has a policy for that last /8 which pretty much says: only for transitional purposes
Nope... No registry has such a policy that I know of. Owen
