Re: [sig-policy] prop-111-v001: Request-based expansion of IPv6 default
Just to clarify the meaning of " Current /32 allocations from the /12 block can grow up to /24 at this stage".
Based on the sparse allocation mechanism, the more allocations we make in the pool, the smaller size each allocation can grow. At this stage, every allocation can still have a room grow up to /24. In the future, more and more allocations add to the pool, the maximum growth size for each allocation will be reduced. It is possible reduce to /25, /26/ etc.

Thanks for confirming.

Err. That suggests APNIC is not using sparse (aka bisection) allocation, rather APNIC now just reserves the the /24 instead of the /29...?
