Whait if I am (mainly) anIPv6 transit provider with 201 customers - all beeing LIR on their own: - I cannot get address space from my upstream because I have none or several depending on my size and definition of "up" - I cant make a plan to assigh 200 /48s since all my customers are LIRs on their own - I am hardly an end site ?
how do I get adresses under the current policy ? If I cannot, how do we modify the policy to alow me to get adresses ?
IMHO, this is what is wrong with the current policy. It says you should 'PLAN' to assign 200 /48s it doesnot say you 'WILL' assign. In order to obey the letter of the policy you could say that you 'PLAN' to assign each of your customers a /48 - whether they use it is entirely upto them (as they've got their own allocation they would probably never use the /48 from you). This would get you an allocation and be obeying the letter of the policy. You're not strictly lying, but it is a completely pointless use of address space. Jon
