Hi WG.
We at MCI are
requesting a /24 PI-range to use for an anycast service (DNS) but the
request has been rejected in accordance to the current assignment policy.
We need PI-space
belonging to a separate AS so we can't use existing MCI
space.
The need for this
range is if course routing reasons which is prohibited by the
policy.
I've been reading
Andreas Baess e-mail on this issue and I hope
this issue will be addressed on the RIPE 50 and rule in favour of changing
the policy.
I don't judge on the
routability aspects but more on the fact that we need a change in the policy to
accomodate a setup for anycast services.
Myself I can't
attend the WG meeting on Thursday 5/5 due to other engagements so this e-mail is
my support for the proposal.
Best regards
Patrick
