Hi Gaurab,
Thanks for sharing this info.
| APNIC does sparse allocation and reserves a /24 on the one-click allocations
is this part of a policy? or APNIC does that for the sake of better management? Why not make it a policy?
Now the question left is /16 or /24.

Hi Andy, others.
In the context of this (and the other two proposals as well), will it
be useful to know how APNIC practices sparse allocation. APNIC
followed 'bisection' (or binary chop) for IPv4 untill it was not
possible.
I seems APNIC does sparse allocation and reserves a /24 on the
one-click allocations, as is evidenced from this small snapshot from
published data at
http://ftp.apnic.net/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20110820.
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:9500::|32|20110501|allocated
apnic|CN|ipv6|2400:9600::|32|20100318|allocated
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:9700::|32|20110501|allocated
apnic|ID|ipv6|2400:9800::|32|20090212|allocated
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:9900::|32|20110501|allocated
apnic|CN|ipv6|2400:9a00::|32|20100318|allocated
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:9b00::|32|20110501|allocated
apnic|AU|ipv6|2400:9c00::|32|20090722|allocated
apnic|PH|ipv6|2400:9d00::|32|20110502|allocated
apnic|CN|ipv6|2400:9e00::|32|20100318|allocated
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:9f00::|32|20110502|allocated
apnic|IN|ipv6|2400:a000::|32|20081208|allocated
apnic|NP|ipv6|2400:a100::|32|20110503|allocated
If APNIC is already reserving a /24 worth of IPv6 address per
delegation, I think now we are simply debating whether that's a valid
number or not. Or whether it should do binary chop for v6 as well.
Paraphrasing from a note David Conrad sent to the RIPE address policy
WG, binary chop was also one of the reasons cited when RIRs received
the /12 from IANA. [1].
