Hi! I found today out, that there is planed possibility to convert PI assignments to PA allocation. But - i'ts planed only for /22 and bigger assignments, due to minimum allocation size, and doesn't apply for example /23 or /22 assignemnts. I think it's a bit pointless. AFAIK sense of minimum allocation is suppression of unnecessary fragmentation. But - in this case - this pool is already in use, and is already visible in bgp table. Allowing or disallowing conversion doesn't have any relation with growing address space. What's more - allowing conversion of any assignment can save some of address space. Most of PI assignemts (known to me) is partialy unused. After years from assignemnts part of the plans has been withdrawn (but another parts are citical - dns servers etc - so whole assignemnt can't be returned). Allowing conversion would allow use it back, for example for customers... (sorry for my english - i hope that sense is understandable) -- Regards, Andrzej 'The Undefined' Dopierała http://andrzej.dopierala.name/
