[arin-discuss] Size Categories for IPv6.

[James Cornick - JCHost.net]

I agree there needs to be an equivalent for the X-Small allocation with 
ipv4 in conjunture with ipv6 fee schedule and allocation size.  I 
believe this will encourage ipv6 use as it will not be as costly and 
also so everyone who has ipv4 allocation would have the ability to 
easily obtain a ipv6 allocation.  In terms of what you have laid out 
allocation size wise I think what you have makes good sense unless there 
is a way to make the /32 the x-small, however making the /32 the x-small 
seems like there would be a lot of waste.

Thank you,

James Cornick
