If the policy needs revision /(John's comments did not provide enough of a background story - it's unclear if this a yet another IPv4 land grab approach, and/or IXP'sĀ evolving into hosting content caches, and/or the historical industry acceptable usage that Ryan shares), /maybe consider micro-allocations for IXP usage as unannounced prefixes and for routed prefixes, an IXP applies under NRPM 4.3 /(end user assignments).

I have a similar conversation recently with someone willing to use IXP allocations to assign to content caches and on this point I think that IXP pool should not be for that. Even knowing the positive impact a hosted content directly connected to a IXP makes it is their business to being their own IP address not the IXP and to be fair if you think of any CDN service they all have total means to do that. Therefore IXP allocations should be used for IXP own usage, so internal Infrastructure and to connect members and things should not be mixed up.
