Hi Sander,

So what is it that you and Andrew see in the net-pgm draft or the SRv6 proposal 
that lead you to believe such a change in the IPv6 assignment or allocation 
sizes are required by RIRs?

I am assuming this is the same "IP Space burn" topic that Andrew alludes to ...

Thanks,
Ketan

I disagree. I think the RFCs that the IETF produces should be deployable in the 
real world, and where that requires changes at other organisations in the 
internet ecosystem like the RIRs and their communities that requires 
cooperation, communication and consideration. The IETF does not exist in a 
vacuum.

To help start the discussion and awareness, I just made a list of all the IPv6 
current assignment and allocation sizes in the RIPE NCC service region:

/19:     3
/20:     2
/21:     2
/22:     2
/23:     5
/24:     5
/25:     5
/26:     8
/27:    11
/28:     7
/29: 11614
/30:   107
/31:    54
/32:  6346
/40:     1
/42:     1
/43:     1
/44:     2
/45:     7
/46:    17
/47:    39
/48:  2998

This is the operational context that these standards exist in. If anything 
needs to be changed that will need cooperation with the RIR communities at the 
least.

Cheers,
Sander
