Hi,
small that you can't manage that, using a /64 from one of the members wouldn't hurt anybody - the DECIX ran on a borrowed IPv4 PA /24 for about 5 years or so, with over 50 members, and without any issues).
a "hack". an example of what we dont want when we are putting effort in designing policies... ;-)
Yes. But on the other hand, no single policy can catch all special cases, and you want to have at least *some* definition of IXP...
IXP definition: 3 or more members, policy for joining public. enough? need to add that a member needs to have a valid ASN ?
Still I think that the form is worded in a way that doesn't reflect the intent of the policy. Maybe something like "three members that participate in the global BGP routing with their own globally visible AS" or whatever like that. Peering makes sense even without a full BGP table.
Agree. Now to practice: Can the form be "corrected" in a near future? if noone objects to that... :-)
