pTLA request for NTT-EAST - review closes 1 March 2002

[Bob Fink]

6bone Folk,

NTT-EAST has requested a pTLA allocation and I find their request fully 
compliant with RFC2772. The open review period for this will close 1 March 
2002. Please send your comments to me or the list.

<http://www.ntte.net>


Note: though the NTT-EAST IPv6-site object lists AS4697 for their BGP4+ 
peering with their current upstream NTT-ECL, NTT-EAST will use their own 
AS17933 as a pTLA.


Thanks,

Bob
