"PI space cannot be re-assigned or further assigned to other parties."
The text is the same for IPv4 PI and IPv6 PI, but you still can't get both for the same use. Why not? In my opinion the policy is the same for both, but it seems it's not interpreted in the same way.
Actually, there's a significant difference and that has been pointed out a number of times on the list and at the last RIPE meetings. The IPv4 policy has this sentence: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-509#----network-infrastructure-and-end-us... 6.2 Network Infrastructure and End User Networks IP addresses used solely for the connection of an End User to a service provider (e.g. point-to-point links) are considered part of the service provider's infrastructure. These addresses do not have to be registered with the End User's contact details but can be registered as part of the service provider's internal infrastructure. When an End User has a network using public address space this must be registered separately with the contact details of the End User. ... and this specific clause is not in the IPv6 policy, so "networks used to number end customers" are considered "part of the assignment to this end customer". (Which makes sense for DSL and cable etc. networks, where you really want to assign a /56 or /48 anyway, and not start tricking around with single-address-assignment from PI blocks) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- did you enable IPv6 on something today...?
