Hi,
I like the idealism of this idea, but it is too little, too late and
much too many work to save a few bytes on the ip4 routing table. This
race is lost, adding more memory to the board or block and remove
certain routes will be the solution. My focus shifted already to the
future (?) disaggregation of ip6, where we had hit the 32k lately.

Hello,
One of the goals of RIPE is to aggregate IP addresses. I'd like to
suggest
the ability for a LIR and End User to exchange number of blocks of IP
ranges for a greater block.
For example:
LIR/End User has 4 different /22 subnets and LIR/End User can exchange
these subnets for 1 x /20 subnet.
This gives a LIR or End User the possibility to announce larger IP
subnets
to the Internet. Helping the goal of aggregating the IP addresses on
the
Internet.
According one of the RIPE trainer, this is currently not possible
according
the RIPE policy. Because there's no policy to give a LIR/End User this
ability.
I'm curious to what you think of this idea.
