The RIPE currently reserves a /29 for every initial /32.
Is this really true?
Well, from my source of information - yes (for legacy allocations).
When the RIRs and IANA were discussing the /12 allocations, the RIRs claimed one of the reasons they needed /12s was because they would all be using the "bisection method" of allocation to remove the need for reservation. It would be sad to hear RIPE still hadn't followed through.
Again, from my source, since some months or maybe a year, RIPE-NCC allocates IPv6 on "bit-boundry" (or bisection) method, so reservation is not needed anymore. But legacy allocations made us think of /29 :) /jan
