It's not quick to get a pTLA: 15 days when you are lucky, 1 month when
people troll on your request...

pTLA review is not useful, many pTLA have been allocated without respect
RFC2772 (with only one contact, with reserved ASN,...)


What do you think about the last allocated pTLA ?

HP/US                 3FFE:4015::/32 [22Jan03]

Wed Feb 26 01:52:26 CET 2003
route-server.ndsoftwarenet.net> show ipv6 bgp 3FFE:4015::/32
% Network not in table
route-server.ndsoftwarenet.net>

1 month after the allocation, this pTLA had never been announced !
