Considering how extremely uncommon this configuration is, I'd prefer it to be the other way around, i.e., that a small IXP with a dozen members would need to explain why they need a /24 in order to get it, otherwise they'd get a /27 by default.
when an IXP first applies for an allocation out of the pool it has zero customers. It only has a business plan and how many customers it *expects* to have. Which easily can be "tweaked". So to avoid that RIPE NCC checks business plans we should stick with /24 as default. best regards, Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Tremmel Phone +49 69 1730902 0 | Fax +49 69 4056 2716 | | wolfgang.tremmel@de-cix.net Executive Directors: Harald A.
