RIPE 552 (I think), allows you to request up to a /29 without additional
justification if needed.
Sure, but you're just tinkering at the edges here.
32-bits would be a more sensible allocation size to LIRs, allowing them
construct their addressing plan in a logical, hierarchal manner whilst allowing
for growth - and most importantly ensuring they only advertise a single route
into the global routing table.
Which fine except we have assignment practices that have the result
requiring the allocation of much shorter prefixes. Just handing out /32s
fails the objective reality test.
Regarding the single route, no they don't. and nobody that I know is
filtering on /32 or longer.
Kind regards,
Adrian
