End Site<o:p></o:p></h3>An End Site is defined as an End User (subscriber) who has a business or legal relationship (same or associated entities) with a service provider that involves:<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>that service provider assigning address space to the End User<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>that service provider providing transit service for the End User to other sites<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>that service provider carrying the End User's traffic<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>that service provider advertising an aggregate prefix route that contains the End User's assignment<o:p></o:p></blockquote> By these definitions, only an IR ("2.1. Internet Registry (IR)") can "assign" allocated address space to non-IRs, i. e. ISPs or End Users, in the context of ripe-707. The term "ISP" is not wll defined within ripe-707 except for "LIRs are generally ISPs whose customers are primarily End Users and possibly other ISPs" in "2.4. Local Internet Registry (LIR)". The graph in "2. Definitions" suggests that ISPs are the entities that are actually creating the Internet, whereas (L)IRs are involved in distributing IP space only. Since, following 2.6., only an (I)SP _that also is an (L)IR_ could, acting in it's (L)IR role, "assign" address space, 2.9. should therefore receive a friendly "s/service provider/ISP/g" and have the first bullet point removed. On the other hand, 2.6. in it's current form – except for the "separate addresses (not prefixes)" issue, as any singke address IS technically also a /128 prefix – seems rather clear to me: if it's for the documented "specific use within the Internet infrastructure they operate", it's fine. Otherwise, a separate assignment is needed for either a new specific use _or a different End User_, so the ISP or End User (or the ISP for it's End User) will have to request that from an (L)IR (which it may be itself, if the ISP or End User is an LIR as well). Thus, if you need "multiple addresses" for your "physical server" and you received an assignment for your infrastructure including your server(s), I cannot see a conflict with ripe-707. If you want to add a dedicated server for a customer of yours, I'd expect you to get a new (non-PI) prefix (i. e. no less than a /64 as per 5.4.1.) for this different End User from your LIR of choice (or have that End User apply for a /48 PIv6 via your cooperative LIR).
