Which companies? According to the stats* Leo gave only 6 requests where ever denied based on this. Can these companies please come forward and explain what they exactly want? * = http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-50/presentations/ripe50-ap-ipv6numbers.pdf > Until IPv6 allocation policies are made reasonable without silly > artificial constraints with no reasoning behind them, then it > is a little early to discuss regional cooperative LIRs.

Most IX's, not any I know of, don't have a need for so much address space and certainly, to stay neutral will not be able to provide address space to customers. If IX's did do that they would be a LIR-ISP again and there goes the I from PI. > How many in other regions?

Dig a bit and find live data: http://www.ripe.net/rs/ipv6/stats/ Also check: http://www.ripe.net/info/resource-admin/rir-comp-matrix-rev.html Greets, Jeroen BTW: GRH doesn't cover IX assignments (yet), does it need to maybe? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
