% 2001:478::/32 is *NOT* an IX prefix. It's a normal TLA allocated
% from ARIN to a LIR. If the "IX's" in that prefix want to be reachable
% they should announce the /32 and handle all the AS4555 IPv6 traffic
% themselves. The /32 is not and has never been present in the GRT.
Yes it is. EP.NET is not an LIR. You are suggesting that
folk who use RIR space should aggregate those into /32s?
e.g. IX's in ARIN space should have attaching ISPs each
proxy aggregate 2001:510::/32 ... This is their perogative
but its operationally nuts. The same holds true for 2001:478::/32
It was delegated for the purpose of supporting IXes and critical
infrastructure.
% If you are a thinking forward then use the "strict" filter.
