Re: Policy Statement on Address Space Allocations
Daniel,
If you insist on prefix-length filtering I have proposed a soloution for future address space allocated via the RIPE NCC several times:
- set your inbound prefix length filter to /19.
- The RIPE NCC will *guarantee* that we will not make more than 1024 non-aggregateable allocations from each /8.
Would the RIPE NCC provide such non-aggregatable allocations irrespective of how many hosts would be covered by such an allocation ? Yakov.

Sorry, lack of clarity because of failing neurons. What I meant to say was "1024 CIDRable allocations". Or simply "allocations". The point is that we will guarantee that our allocation policy will create no more than 1024 allocations per /8 and therefore not necessitate by itself more routes than that. Currently our allocation sizes are /19 - /16. If you think about it a little you will see that it is easy to achieve. And just in case: Yes the minimum allocation is /19 irrespective of the number of hosts covered. Note: allocation != assignment. Daniel

OK, so just to make it clear, if a customer would come to the RIPE NCC and the customer has just 1 host you would still allocated him /19 block. Correct ? Yakov.
