I assume the NCC >> is considering the /21 statement as superseded by the last /8 policy and >> considers the minimum allocation size to be /22 instead.] This statement is correct: we consider the /21 statement as superseded by the last /8 policy, according to which the minimum allocation size is /22. > OK, thanks Tore! > > So - question to the IPRAs: what sizes of PI blocks did you see when the > PI->PA conversion requests were submitted? Most of the requests for conversion from assigned PI to allocated PA have been for IP blocks larger than the minimum allocation size (mainly /20 and /19 blocks). Just in very few cases the IP blocks were smaller than the minimum allocation size (/23 and /24 blocks). Best regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC > Wilfried. > >> Tore > >
