I have a few question regarding IPv6, and policies. I am not LIR, so I cannot get any /32 for my network usage. I got from my LIR a /48 for my internal network needs, and another /48 for another end-user, routed through my network. The two /48 are consecutive, and aggregable as a single /47.
- Am I allowed to announce a prefix more specific than my LIR's /32 (originated from my ASN, not the LIR's one) ?
- If I can announce a more specific prefix, do I have to announce a couple of /48s, or may I announce a single /47, originated from my AS ? If I can announce the /47, I assume the LIR has to create a route: object ?
- Is there any recommendations I'd need to know for such a situation (except becoming LIR, which is not possible for us at the moment) ?
Are you single-homed to your LIR? If yes, your advertisement does not need to propagate to the whole internet. If not, connectivity might break to those other ISPs which do filter more specifics based on allocation boundaries. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
