RIPE NCC ADDRESS POLICY CHANGES

*** CHANGES IN RIPE NCC ADDRESS POLICY *** During the RIPE 36 meeting in Budapest (16-19 May 2000) the LIR working group agreed that the RIPE NCC will: - lower the minimum allocation from a /19 to a /20. - this change will take effect starting August 1 Allocations of this size will initially be issued from CIDR block 217/8. Minimum allocations do not constrain requests for address space that can justify bigger blocks of addresses. ** If you use prefix based filtering in your routers, please note this change ** regards, Joao Damas Head of External Services RIPE NCC
