Re: [sig-policy] prop-083: Alternative criteria for subsequentIPv6 alloc
When you refer to needs... 'needs' can be more than the sheer number of single addresses. Even APNIC in their utilisation measures based on a percentage relating to /56's. 'Needs' could be network design and other considerations.
As of the 10th of February, the requirement to aggregate your first ipv6 block has been removed. So anyone with a v6/32 has de-aggregate if they like. The issue here is community standards may make you un-routable to anyone utilising the common bogon filters.
I've already seen this in the /35 we announce out of our /32 where the visibility in the US has been some 75% (not sure what measurement RIPE use to measure this) - but fluctuates.
