Hi Andrea,

According to our experience only LIRs that needed a block much larger than /29 found it worth the effort to return their /32.
I don't know how I should understand you statement. Should I take it to mean that the policy is impeding LIRs who would otherwise qualify for larger allocations from getting them because they will have to renumber their whole network? Or something else?
There are a number of LIRs who received a /32 in the past who later realise that they might have qualified for a larger initial allocation. We allow these LIRs to return their /32 and then evaluate their request based on the data they submit. In the case that these LIRs do not want to return that /32, the normal IPv6 additional allocation policy applies and we will allocate them more space if and when they qualify under that policy. In practice this means that their existing /32 has to be used up to the HD-ratio. We presented this at RIPE 62 in the 'Feedback from RIPE NCC Registration Services'. http://ripe62.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/address-policy Best regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC
Thanks,
