This proposal aims to change the default IXP assignment size from a /24 to a needs-based model, with a /27 as a minimum. This proposal doesn't seem well-thought-out. [...]
I strongly oppose the 2019-07 policy proposal for the reasons expressed by Nick Hilliard. I think an IXP operator should be able to request a longer prefix than a /24 in the IXP Assignment policy but the default assignment size should not change from a /24. IXPs need to operate on the principle of least surprise, especially as the experience and the expertise of networks connecting continues to expand beyond the traditional boundaries.
