Subject: [address-policy-wg] Address Assignment Practices in IPv4 and IPv6
Message-ID: <0c1ce1e5-db92-bcd5-73af-28978869e9f7@ripe.net>

Hi all,

We've published a study on the stability of IPv4/IPv6 assignments in 
domestic ISPs, and the size of the IPv6 prefixes that networks typically 
assign to subscribers. We look at this from two different angles: what 
can we measure from RIPE Atlas, and what do operators state in the RIPE 
Database?

In particular, understanding the size of IPv6 delegated prefixes is 
important for applications such as host reputation & blocklists, 
geolocation, and research on network measurement. The RIPE Database 
offers the community a way to share information on their prefix 
delegations, and deserves some attention!
