Comment on 2006-05 (PI Assignment Size)
Hello, I support the 2006-05 proposal. We have one client who insisted on getting PI space, but they qualified for at most /27. Then we had to actually request that /27 and have them expierience what prefix filtering does to small PI networks. Alternative way to solve this would be to designate one /8 (or longer; divided among regional registries) that contained only prefixes longer than /24. It would allow for small PI's, be easy to configure filters for, and have a limited influence on global routing table size. But it would need agreement all over the internet.

Hello, I support this proposal too. And I think LIRs should be more face to client and a bit educate them about real situation before evaluating requests ;) Michał Mirosław wrote:

I'm a bit afraid of mixing RIPE address policy interests/requirements and routing policy interests/requirements. Ofcourse a lot of address space is requested to be routed, so there is a connection between the two. I'm just afraid that common routing policies will change if we change the address policy, so then we'll have to change the address policy again, which will lead to changes in common routing policy, etc.. We have to be careful here. Sander
