Since the ARIN micro allocation policy creates some problems, I was curious what kind of address space RIPE uses for k-root. A /32 "macro allocation", it turns out:
inet6num: 2001:07FD::/32 netname: K-rootserver-net-20030829 descr: This assignment given to k-root.server.net
I believe this ASSIGNment is in violation of existing IPv6 ALLOCATION policies. I would be very interested in learning any information to the contrary.
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6-rootservers.html "Under this policy, each (current or future) Internet DNS root server (as listed in the root-servers.net zone) in the RIPE region will be assigned a block of IPv6 address space for purposes of root server operations. The size of the block shall be the same as the size of the minimum allocation to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) valid at the time of the root server assignment." An ALLOCATION makes no sense as no assignments would be done. The root server operator IS the end user of the address space.
