Hi, The alternative is that in just a few years it will no longer provide IXPs with any space. Right now, according to peeringdb, in RIPE region there are 5 IXPs holding a /21 and 5 (or 4, depending on how you consider the 2 LINX LANs) that hold a /22, and 14 (12, depending on how you count multi-LAN IXPs) that hold a /23. Let's hear their point of view, since building an IXP so big takes a lot of time (took almost 9 years for FranceIX to get there). Those being said, I'm in favour of the proposal. Just one reserve on wording of the assignment of "dust" (less than /24): if a request (for smaller than /24) is being made before the reserved pool exhaustion, will it be taken from he reserved pool or from the "dust" ? -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN
