Dear Gert,
Well, the point of "PA" is the "A" for "Aggregation". It can be announced (as a hole) from their own AS, but MUST NOT be taken away from the original provider.
Yes, it was good when we (means all ISP) had many IPv4 addresses. In several month PI space will be unavailable and for more efficient using IPv4 big ISP will allow use PA space for using to smaller ISP.
If the customer terminates the contract with the ISP who has been allocated the PA block from RIPE, the PA space MUST be returned.
It is not problem. Each customer has contract and on termination the contract all Assigned PA space client return back. -- Alexey Ivanov 19.06.2012 18:16 - Gert Doering написал(а): Hi, On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 06:09:38PM +0400, LeaderTelecom Ltd. wrote:
He should not have received PA addresses from you in the first place, if he has his own AS he should have used PI addresses instead. Anyways..
Why? Customer can use as PA so PI with own AS.

Just because it (sometimes) works technically doesn't mean it's intended to be used that way, or will not cause major problems later on - as you have discovered.
