As per my analysis, there has been a ~40% increase in IXPs world-wide over the last three years (see my initial mail). Given that number, I don't think we should wait and continue wasting space with too large assignments until 2027. > On Thu, Oct 27, 2022 at 20:59:20PM +0200, Gert Döring wrote: Now, getting > that /15 might be a bit complicated... maybe we really need to go for "ipv4 > over ipv6 transport", then, like the cloudfolks already do... Sure, we should go for multihop hop BGP in the future. But (correct me if I'm wrong) this is probably a question for the Euro-IX folks. This will require a major testing effort from the IXP community with all kinds of vendors and route server implementations and we need to develop best practices for that; thus, it makes sense to stretch the existing pool as long as possible. Please note this proposal also affects DE-CIX, because most of our IXPs are not exactly the size of Frankfurt. IMHO, the default assignment should be something like /25. Regards, Matthias -- Dr.-Ing.
