Routeability never was and never will be a RIPE Policy issue in my eyes. So there can only be a warning that some Prefixes - be it IPv4 or IPv6, _may_ not be routable, but not "should not" or "must not". Such things are rather part of RfC's or something. Routing is rather a global issue, not an issue of one of the RIRs alone. ...and yes, i acutally am _against_ any filters on RIR IPv6-Allocation boundaries or similar anyways, it's a totally different thing than in IPv4 (and even there it doesn't really make sense nowerdays to filter on RIR boundaries) but that's another holy war. -- ========================================================================== = Sascha 'master' Lenz SL277-RIPE slz at s-lz.net = = = = You can rent this space for $$$ * PGP public Key on demand * = ==========================================================================
