[6bone] 2001:478:: as /48

[Bill Manning]

% Michel,
% 
% Bill was just notifying us that we SHOULD accept the prefixes as
% un-aggregated, not that they were in the wild yet, unaggregated.  The
% reason you may not be seeing them (at least from us) as unaggregated is
% that I have yet to open up our filters to them until I get verification
% from Bill that my filter is right.  I don't wanna leak the wrong thing. As
% for documentation, I generally take Bill at his word when it comes to
% things like this.

	2001:478:x://48 are being used at a number of exchanges
	now and more are expected to follow. Some are being used 
	for other infrastructure purposes, for which you may wish
	a route to.  

	So the notice was more to point out that you should -NOT-
	accept aggregates in the range 2001:478::/35 (soon to be /32,
	as soon as ARIN adopts polciy changes).  Its up to individual
	ISPs as to which prefixes they listen to and (the subset) of 
	the listened to prefixes to announce.  

	W.R.T. "PI" space,  this qualifies just as much as the various
	RIR's ear-marked space for exchanges & infrastructure.  The
	point is that if you see things in these ranges at all, they 
	will likely be /48 or /64 entries.  And there will be reasons
	to listen... :)

% Bill, if you will, please add CMH-IX (http://www.cmh-ix.net/) to the list
% of IPv6 exchanges at www.ep.net.  The CMH-IX site itself will be updated
% to reflect this service sometime this weekend.

	I've punted the request to Jeff. <hostmaster@ep.net>
