My new IX (BEST!!!-IX) receives a /26. The first paragraph says I MUST NOT announce this outside the IX LAN. Or else.... The second says it is left to my discretion. What am I missing? > 5.

How will *restricting* the allocation "ensure rapid expansion"? You also state: > Reducing the default assignment size to /26 would stop wasting a large amount of valuable IPv4 space We have to decide consistently if IPv4 space is valuable or not. If it is, let me use this, it has value to me. Let me use it to increas emy value (perhaps transfer? Allocate? Compress? Dare I say: Lease?) But then I am told that IPv6 is here to stay, and IPv4 is valueless. I organised the Singapore IPv6 Day a dozen years ago. Why are we tinkering with something that is dying? I mean, Members should be rushing to return their IPv4 space to reduce their APNIC bills, right? -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://sg.linkedin.com/in/ghane > >
