The RIPE NCC reserves three bits for each allocation. This is due to historical reasons as, according to policy, the RIPE NCC had to reserve a /29 for each LIR. /32s (and their reservations) are made using the sparse allocation method. [...]
We currently reserve two bits for IPv6 assignments, which is done on the basis of availability. According to the policy: "When possible, these further assignments will be made from an adjacent address block."
Thanks for clarifying these procedures.
