Dear Radu,
I'm happy to provide some clarification.
The current IPv4 IXP policy states "Once they require a larger
assignment, they must return their current one (or existing PI used as
an IXP peering LAN)" [1]
It is the RIPE NCC's understanding that this condition applies to IXP
assignments provided under this policy and to older regular PI
assignments if they were provided exclusively for IXP peering LANs.
Other IP ranges that might be used for IXP services, such as parts of an
IPv4 allocation (ASSIGNED PA), do not fall under this condition.
As you mentioned, the proposed new wording on this topic is very
similar, and the RIPE NCC would apply the same understanding if this
proposal would become a RIPE policy.
Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt

Hello,
Would somebody from NCC be able to clarify how would the wording "must return the
existing assignment (or existing PI used as an IXP peering LAN)" (proposed text
6.1.4 and 6.1.5) be interpreted/implemented for the case of IXPs that use ASSIGNED PA
space for the peering LAN. OK, it's the same wording that already exists in the current
policy, but a clarification is welcome.
Otherwise the proposal seems reasonable.

Dear colleagues,
A new RIPE Policy Proposal, 2023-01, "Reducing IXP IPv4 assignment
default size to a /26"
is now available for discussion.
The goal of this proposal is to extend the lifetime of the IXP IPv4
address pool and to motivate IXPs to implement the exchange of IPv4
routing information over IPv6.
You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-01
As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this
four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide
feedback to the proposer.
At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of
the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal.
The PDP document can be found at:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-781
We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to
[email protected] before 7 February 2023.
Kind regards,
Angela Dall'Ara
