Part of the rational says: "Much of the work that goes into creating Internet Exchange Points today is done in regions of the world where there is no Internet Exchange Point yet. Opening an IXP helps to develop the Internet and Internet community in that region, so the work really is 'good of the Internet'. Starving these regions of an opportunity to build a simple open Internet Exchange Point would be severely damaging to Internet users in regions under-served by IXPs." But a brand new IXP will be able to get a /22 under the existing rules. Surely that's enough? I have a general dislike of "special cases" especially where they don't seem to be necessary. And this seems to be unnecessary. Nigel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
