Hi Andy, > This was discussed at the eix-wg and address-policy in Vienna. There are 133 known IXPs in Europe (according to Euro-IX) at the moment, and whilst we would all love to see more and more regional peering, the consideration was that > reserving addressing room for another ~200 IXPs (in the European region) ... before IPv6 is prevalent ... is acceptable. > I trust this answers your concern ? In summary this is a valid question, but it was considered at the time the proposal was drafted. Yes it does. > And, if we run out of space for new IXPs before v6 prevalence, then whither the very internet, my colleagues ? :-) Thanks for the answer. Regards, Erik Bais
