% 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.

	forward != pragmatic or practical
