Oggetto: Re: [address-policy-wg] 2017-03 New Policy Proposal (Reducing Initial IPv4 Allocation, aiming to preserve a minimum of IPv4 space)

Hello,
/24 is de-facto standard accepted in routing tables these days and also
/24 was used in large scale during PI assignments - so I don't see any problem in reduction of initial (minimal) IPv4 allocation. So i support this idea.

But I would like to keep option for asking more than /24 (up to /22 maximum, as was decided in the past) LIRs eligible for allocation, if LIR properly documents his request.

From my own practice there're some LIR, where /24 is sufficient and they just become LIRs because there's no other real option to get independent addresses (old "PI") and with /22 we're just wasting limited resource.
But there're also LIRs, where /22 will actively used.

I don't see any problems in terms of RFC 2050 mentioned here and memory contraints, providers had to upgrade their routers in meantime anyway (at least due to IPv6 adoption). Fragmentation up to /24 is long-term reality and we had to deal with it anyway.

With regards,
Daniel
