The policy says: """ The minimum size of the assignment is a /48. Organisations requesting a larger assignment (shorter prefix) must provide documentation justifying the need for additional subnets. Additional assignments may also be made when the need is demonstrated and documented based on address usage, or because different routing requirements exist for additional assignments. """ Your case seems to fit the "different routing requirements" rule. I would ask the NCC why they think that rule doesn't apply. They may have a reason. Without further data I can't judge their decision. > Once again to make it clear, if you are a member it is easier to get 1 > million /48s than it is for a non member to get 3 /48s. Aggregatable addresses are indeed strongly preferred :) Cheers, Sander
