Dear Colleagues,
A proposed change to RIPE Document ripe-530, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region", is now available for discussion.
You can find the full proposal at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2011-05
We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 22 November 2011.
i'm not a fan of "special entities", but IXPs actually are a bit special and the proposal again makes some examples why, so i do support this proposal. Reserving an(other) /16 for this purpose doesn't really hurt anyone either. I am not quite sure if 180days for returning the old prefix is really enough in a world where it's hard to reach some peering partners and get reactions in under 360days :-) but i'm not an IXP operator so what do i know... I just assume it's reasonable? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards Sascha Lenz [SLZ-RIPE] Senior System- & Network Architect
