I don't believe that Fernando intentionally mentioned ARIN, rather he meant to state APNIC. I may be wrong though and if so, it makes absolutely no sense as to why we receive delegations from one RIR and return to another. > There are models of IXPs that do have reason to route the IXP segment. They > are not the most common model, but they do exist. My problem still lies with the community not accepting prefixes longer than a /24 for global routability. We can't prevent IXPs with prefixes longer than a /24 from routing their prefixes, when those with shorter than or equal to a /24 can. It's either all can, or none can. > RIRs should not be in the business of dictating routing policy to anyone. APNIC does not "dictate" how we can and cannot route resources, the community defines policy (see the PDP). APNIC simply facilitates this process.
