I have ambitions of having a /20 IPv6 allocation. Ambitions are easy. But APNIC will ask for justification, I suppose. If the US DoD, or Toyota, can justify a /20, sure, why not? Frankly, given the current state of the Routing Registeries, and RPKI, etc, having BGP announcements on hex-digit boundaries would greatly help troubleshooting by eyeball. I support using /28 , and then /24 , etc, rather than /29 or /27 or whatever. I know this is inefficient, and realise that 50 years from now, it will be seen as stupid and wasteful. But 50 years from now, they are unlikely to care how APNIC handled allocations. -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://sg.linkedin.com/in/ghane
