http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six511 reads: "c. plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will assign IPv6 address space, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation;" Other regions have, or have had, similar requirements. I'm not a native speaker, but I guess "single aggregated address allocation" could be read to imply either 1) "one superblock [and nothing else]", or 2) "at least one superblock that covers everything" (with no implied statement on the more specifics). Even if the interpretation is the second, the "benefit" of multiple allocations is that they wouldn't need to route between all the suballocations at least in one location in case someone is building route filters so that it would reject more specifics. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
