[ppml] 4.4.2 Micro-allocations for anycast services

[Mark Jeftovic]

Sorry if I don't understand all the lingo (I'm a self-confessed routing 
moron), what is "PI space"?

The issue with just getting a /24 allocated from your ISP or upstream I 
guess is this ties you to the ISP, if you ever move you then need to get 
another allocation from your new ISP.

Also, what if your anycast cloud straddles across multiple ISPs? Would 
that still work?

that's why I think the micro-allocation is the solution to give the 
smaller players the flexibility to tie their own anycast clouds together 
  in a manner that doesn't marry them to their upstream
