Status of 2024-01 Revised IPv6 PI Assignment Policy ?
by Jori Vanneste 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Dear Address Policy WG, There was a lot of traction related to 2024-01 during the last few months of 2024, but it seems this has fallen silent. Does anybody know the current status of said proposal? I'm asking this as the policy would help me quite a bit in regards to my network, as I currently have 9 different /48 PI assignments I would like to consolidate, preferrably without renumbering. (both objects and DNS-wise, with the nibble boundaries and whatnot) I also believe I am far from the only network with this issue, as some of the customers at my employer have noted similar issues at the time. Hence, I was following this proposal quite closely, and find it unfortunate to see no further information on it. I'm aware the PDP states that a 4-week inactivity constitutes a withdrawal, but I am curious if this is the case here? Looking forward to any further information or replies. :) Kind regards, Jori Vanneste
