Nothing against all of romania but there appears to be more than one rogue operation there that used to hand out quite a few /15 v4 netblocks to US based spammers and are now registering quite a lot of /32 v6 netblocks

Hi Suresh,

Firstly, any member (LIR) can receive by default a /32 (up to a /29) ALLOCATION and NOT assignment. It's a /48 PI assignment that you can get if you are not an LIR.

Secondly, @Suresh - have a look at who is leading the world in IPv6 deployment and then you may want to be careful with trowing stones at Romania.
Romania IS and has been for at least one year the leader in IPv6 deployment in the whole world, if you are badmouthing Romania for it's spam, try to praise it for it's IPv6 deployment, that would be fair.

My 2 cents,
Elvis Daniel Velea (proud Romanian)

Thanks for chiming in, vijay. At a guess those v6 /32s are all
registered in Romania?

    i agree with suresh's assessment.

    Lately lot of spammers are getting /32 ipv6 assignments with their
    own ASNs and having a nice run.
    The ipv4 allotment is seriously broken in ripe - just having
    paperwork with valid forms filled is good enough to allot what ever
    range the spammers can ask.

        The lack of progress is simply because you have very few people

          Security as in for a seriously large provider.

        The other lack of progress - well, changing entrenched policies,
        or enforcing them beyond a point where the enforcer is reluctant
        to investigate (or is it "play police" according to the local
        meme) is as tough as it sounds.

            Will surely put a working abuse contact email address

            a funny island ...

            And it looks like if nobody could ever do anything
            against it.

            The current regulations are simply slippery as
            an eel (like we say in Germany), no way
            to catch anybody responsible. Again, ridicolous ...
