No. But renumbering an IX is *pain*. A lot of pain. You want to avoid that if possible. A /26 allows (given that the IX uses about 2-4 IPs itself) about 60 customers. So according to the numbers, for 70% of the IXes this will never fill up, so no need for renumbering. Depending on how quickly it filled up, you then go either for a /25 or a /24. To sum up: - if you start with a /26 ==> 30% has to renumber - if you start with a /29 ==> 75% has to renumber ---> more pain! Makes sense? best regards Wolfgang

If not, how exactly would a default /29 policy «cripple» an IX from growing past 6 members, or a default /28 «cripple» it from growing past 14 members for that matter?
