Hi, This question is about the IPv6 section of ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual. From the manual (Section 6.5.1.1.c):
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 ----- We have a problem with this policy and we would like to know if any other ISP experienced the same... The problem raises when a RIR assign a /28 prefix (for example) to an ISP which has 3 internet links with 3 different carriers (tier 1 carriers, for example) using BGP publications. Acording to ARIN (and most other RIRs) policy, the ISP must advertise through all the 3 links the /28 without the possibility of dissagregation. The problem with this policy is that by doing this, the ISP loses control of the traffic, not being able to distribute the traffic over the 3 different links. A /28 prefix may have a lot of incoming traffic associated to it, so I believe the dissagregation (subnets) of the prefix should be allowed by the policy. What do you think? Do you have a similar problem? Thanks, Nicolas Antoniello.
