ISPs should be following rfc 2050. It doesn't matter if they have
a dedicated 56k or an OC-192. Customers can and should expect to have their
space needs met as per their needs. These guidelines are not that draconian:
Although topological issues may make exceptions necessary, the basic
criteria that should be met to receive network numbers are listed
below:
25% immediate utilization rate
50% utilization rate within 1 year
The utilization rate above is to be used as a guideline, there may be
be occasions when the 1 year rate does not fall exactly in this
range. Organizations must exhibit a high confidence level in its 1
year utilization rate and supply documentation to justify the level
of confidence.
