So you asked to grow the /48 to a /47? Was it accepted? Or did you want the RIR to automatically grow your first assignment when you request a second one without you having to ask? > Of course this does not help every case, but supporting aggregation > where possible certainly ought to be in-scope for most policy-making > bodies in this area. Then please take this to the appropriate policy-making body: address-policy...@ripe.net :-) Cheers! Sander
