Now that we have the new IPv6 policy in place, and we have try and start using it, I have a small problem. We have been allocated a IPv6 block for the Supernational-LIR. However, the actual LIR consits of several ASes, each present at it's own IX and with it's own routing policy.
To me, a Supernational-LIR consists of several sub-LIRs. My problem is that RIPE will only allocate on /35 block to us, saying that is the allocation for our LIR. This means that we will end up having to break that block into smaller announcements, one per each sub-LIR.
Could someone elaborate on the thinking behind this policy. To me it would routingwise make more sense to allocate a block per sub-LIR.
To me, it would make sense to allocate a /3x to each and every one who has an AS#, and requests ipv6-space, then we would NOT have any problem like the above or with 'multihoming' either. It is not like the adresses would be used-up with this scenario..
