[lir-wg] assignment policy

Hoi Nicolaj,

Assuming half of your customers need a /32, you will have to create
25000 interfaces on your router(s) and need a /15 to accomodate this.
I'm quite sure you cannot justify this, but that is my personal opinion.

If it is allowed or not, building these types of networks should not be
encourraged. Either switch to PPPoE (which gives out /32 IP addresses to
endusers) or use bridged ethernet and shared media (/24s with DHCP) where 
possible.

groet,
Pim
