Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'd disagree with the "policies are working nicely" comment, right now I'm really struggling to get RIPE to accept my request for a larger-than-/29 allocation. The simple math that a /29 only provides room for ~500K subscribers, when coupled with RIPE's own RIPE-690 BCOP `recommendation of /48 PD assignments, apparently isn't sufficient justification. I agree with your comment that the point of IPv6 isn't to "conserve! conserve!", however in my experience it seems that RIPE does not agree with us. RIPE is still placing far too much pressure on the LIR to justify the network design and geographical topology of their network, citing RIPE-707 Section 3.5. Right now it is easier for me to simply continue assigning /56 prefix delegations to end-users, instead of fighting RIPE. -Rich On 17/01/2019, 12:29, "members-discuss on behalf of Gert Doering" <members-discuss-bounces at ripe.net on behalf of gert at space.net> wrote: IPv6 utilization seems to be well under control. The policies are working nicely - every ISP and every end customer can have large amounts of IPv6 networks, but still we're only scratching on the first 1% of the first 1/8 of the IPv6 address space (5 /12 out of 2000::/3 allocated to RIRs, but by no means fully utilized). With most "really large" players already having "amazingly large" IPv6 allocations. The point about IPv6 is not "conserve! conserve!" but "use these nice easily accessible masses of addresses and GO AND ROLL OUT IPv6!"
