We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 26 September 2006.
The proposal make sense but we have to look deeper into the problem of increase the prefixes. If someone ask for multihoming with PI Space, it makes sense that we assign a size which will work with the current filtering policies. But maybe we have to change the policy about PI Space in general ? The question is, which "problems" do we rate as a higher risk; waste of ip space, amount of prefixes, reach ability of a subnet. What do you think ?
On my practice multihoming PI users ask one more prefix each time the previous one exhausted. Its coused by difficults while receiving one large enough PI subnet. Instead of becoming LIR and have no problems with PA, such users save money and got a couple of small PIs for a space solution... Yeah, here, in xUSSR, it is common practice. :( As IPv4 PI qustion rised again, in my opinion, we have think about reasonable and clear limits for maximum PI assignment size to reduce described above problem and coused routing table impact. -- Dmitry Kiselev
