I assume the expected fragmentation aspect is due to future requests having to be made since the original assignment to the LIR was only a /32 when something larger would have been useful. Simply keeping the existing system of spacing assignments such that they can be expanded up to a /29 in future if required should avoid this problem. You could probably space assignments for larger members such that they can expand to greater than a /29 in future if needed. Regards James
