Re: [sig-policy] APNIC document review: IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy



Hi Son,

Thank you very much for drafting the IPv6 policy.

I have two comments.

In section 2.7:

 > 2.7.  Utilization
 >
 >    Unlike IPv4, IPv6 is generally assigned to end sites in fixed amounts
 >    (/48).  The actual usage of addresses within each assignment will be
 >    quite low, when compared to IPv4 assignments.  In IPv6, "utilization"
 >    is only measured in terms of the bits to the left of the /56
 >    boundary.  In other words, utilization refers to the assignment of

      ^^^^^^^
     /56s to ?

Should this 'in units of /48 assignments' be modified so as to be
consistent with the description in section 2.7 and 2.8 ?
