There are probably a number of ways, but none hard enoughfor a determined garage to get around. Charging for delegations should work better;
Just for the record: The RIPE NCC is charging for registration services for quite some time now. We do not charge for addresses, but for the service. The charges are annual subscritions per local registry dependent on a self-determined size of the registry. For details see ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/new-registry/billing.txt. This has indeed worked to help aggregation as newly starting garages tend to obtain address space from their provider rather than subscribe to the RIPE NCC's registry services.
I will, but remember, if we're to agree on setting aside pools of space for slow-start, then it should be done in a consistent manner, so that filters can be written a bit more easily. This means setting aside, say, 207/8 for slow-start pools, and then breaking up that /8 into smaller blocks for slow-start allocation of each of the three or four sizes used in slow-start (/21, /20, /19) and then delegating sub-blocks of those sub-blocks to the various registries; if a /8 is too small for this, then two or thre /8s should be set aside for it. Registries and providers must agree to some extent on the above methinks.
193/8 minimum allocation is /19 194/8 minimum allocation is /19 Daniel
