Proposal details ____________________

This proposal removes the minimum assignment size of /48 for an end site, allowing the unit of assignment to be the LIR’s decision. If only one subnet is anticipated for an end site, the minimum assignment size is proposed to be /64. To cater for the differing assignment sizes allowed under this proposal, it is further proposed that APNIC measure utilisation of IPv6 address space in terms of the bits to the left of the /56 boundary.
