[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Re: [ipv6-wg@localhost] Re: What is a site?
Hi all, please, let´s get back to the main question - what is a site ? I think we need a definition for this, because we find a lot of different means (eg. endsite, single network, customer, subscriber) in the IPv6 allocation and assignment policy and the RFC3177. Lets view a concrete example : A customer of us, a shipping company has ten brances at ten different locations. And he is running a seperated network behind our acces router on each loctaion.
From our point of view and understanding the RFC3177 each location is a site and we assign a /XX to each branch.
Do you agree on this, or are there different opinions ? Kind regards Eric Schmidt LIR de.telekom

Customers with many offices are certainly "grey area". We tend to view it that way: - if the offices are all interconnected internally, and there's one link from "the customer network" to us, it's *one* site (/48) - if each office has their own link into our network, and especially to different POPs (-> ISP aggregation comes into play), each office is considered a site on its own, and gets its own /48. With a /48, one might argue that this is wastive - maybe it is. If we go for /56s, this will ease up the argument "what is a site", as we can have so much more sites...
