Hi all. What's bad if someone has several /29 IPv6? Are they running out? How many IPv6 has each RIR? In total the mount of IPv4 is about 4.29 billions against IPv6 with the mount 3.4*10^38.
I understand that the NCC tries to find additional funds and implements additional restrictions to force their members to make additional spending. But we should carefully implement new policies. --- Kind regards, Alex ср, 28 окт. 2020 г., 14:05 JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via address-policy-wg < [email protected]>: > Hi all, > > After Nikolas presentation today, I've been thinking on possible ways to > resolve this, so before sending a possible policy proposal, I think it > deserves some discussion. > > The intent of the proposal 2018-01 ( > https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2018-01), was to > align the IPv4 and IPv6 policies in the matter of an LIR vs organization. > > We must remind that the allocation/assignment of resources is based on > justified need.
