Just for clarification, the resulting /40 will be announced as a single prefix. In *theory* it could be announced as its constituent /48's, but since the customer is not multihomed there is not a lot of incentive to do so (and if the customer was multihomed they would qualify under 6.5.8.1b anyw

Gary, That resonates with me. I agree with you that obtaining IPv6 from the RIR needs to be a sure thing, not a risk, for any network operator who needs PI v6 to sanely build their network. Do you have a general or any specific recommendation for capturing this in policy better than the curre

Bill, One of the tests for a direct assignment is if renumbering would affect 2000+ users. My argument is that having to renumber a /40 worth of address space because they switch providers is at *least* as painful has having to renumber 2000 users. GTG From: Bill Woodcock [mailto:wo.

Your point is valid and I agree that IPv6 doesn’t need those needs tests except maybe for large blocks. The routing table is always an issue, but if we want IPv6 to become the standard we should follow Jon Postel’s model of making it easy to get IPv6 resources. Since there is a yearly fee to g

PPML, I'd like to discuss what I perceive as a gap in the IPv6 End User policy. Under the NRPM Section 4.3, there are virtually no requirements for an initial IPv4 assignment to end users, other than the minimum allocation size is a /24 and a 50% (128 addresses) within one year. Under the
