An entity that I worked for in the arin recieved an ip6 micro-allocation (/43) under current arin policy. it was our understanding at the time that that 6.5.8.3 was current the criterion for additional assignments. while I could imagine other criterion for being applied the assignment of 4,771 /56 prefixes doesn't seem particularly onerous to document, even if as it happens, it's not particularly aligned with the initial assignment policy which was tied to the number of /48 site subnets that were assigned. >> >> Or maybe someone could offer to advertise these deliberately >> unreachable addresses for a small fee and then null route any stray >> packets that happen to want to get >> there.
