All the assignments we make to IXPs come from 2001:7f8::/32. For the  
time being, the easiest way to get a complete list of the assignments  
we have made is to go here:

http://www.ripe.net/whois?-rm+2001%3A7f8%3A%3A%2F32

or do a query like this:

$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -rm 2001:7f8::/32 | grep ^inet6num

(note that we've made one /64 assignment)

We have also made assignments to two root DNS server operators ('K'  
2001:07FD::/32 & 'I' 2001:07FE::/32).

I'm sure that we can add this information to this document (or  
something similar):

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html

if it would be useful to people.

That's something that should change later in the year. We're working  
on improvements in this area at the moment.
