- The RIPE NCC will *guarantee* that we will not make more than 1024 non-aggregateable allocations from each /8.
Would the RIPE NCC provide such non-aggregatable allocations irrespective of how many hosts would be covered by such an allocation ?
Sorry, lack of clarity because of failing neurons. What I meant to say was "1024 CIDRable allocations". Or simply "allocations". The point is that we will guarantee that our allocation policy will create no more than 1024 allocations per /8 and therefore not necessitate by itself more routes than that. Currently our allocation sizes are /19 - /16. If you think about it a little you will see that it is easy to achieve. And just in case: Yes the minimum allocation is /19 irrespective of the number of hosts covered. Note: allocation != assignment. Daniel
