I'll reply below with //s. My point is still: most companies do not use RF=
C1918 correctly. Your point seemed to be that it is not a large enough all=
ocation of IPs for an international enterprise of 80K souls. My rebuttal i=
s: 16.5 million IPs isn't enough?

That's comical thanks. come back when you've done it.
//Ok.
Marshall is correct.
//Ok.
If you'd like to avoid constant renumbering you need a sparser=20
allocation model. You're still going to have collisions with your=20
suppliers and acquisitions and some applications (eg labs, factory=20
automation systems etc) have orders of magnitude large address space=20
requirements than the number of humans using them implies.
//You used the metric of 80K people. Now you say it is a bad metric when I=
reply using it. Your fault, you compound it--you don't provide a better o=
ne. What are we talking about then? 100 IPs per person--say each person h=
as 10 PCs, 10 printers, 10 automated factory machines, 10 lab instruments, =
49 servers and the soda machine on their network? 80,000*100=3D=3D8 millio=
n IP addresses. That leaves you with 8.5 million.... And that includes 80=
,000 networked soda machines. I don't think you have that many soda machin=
es. Even on 5 continents. Even with your growing Asian market, your suppl=
iers, and the whole marketing team.
In practice indivudal sites might be assigned between a 22 and a 16 with=20
sites with exotic requirements having multiple assignments potentially=20
from different non-interconnected networks (but still with internal=20
uniqueness requirements).
//Err. Doing it wrong does not justify doing it wrong.
