It would be good to define "Tie down" in the NRPM, and yes, I mean topological aggregated customer entry points, however, others may define this in more generic terms of groupings.

I did just send a couple in another reply to Scotts' e-mail, however, simply scenario would be:

- 10 regions of 1000 customers growing at 100 customers per year.
- Requested /32 for /36 tie downs per region
- Reserved 1 /36 for internal infrastructure
- Grew over time to 15 regions
- 1000+ /48s in each do not meet utilization of /36s
- How do I deploy my 16th+ region without resizing to non-nibbles?

Possibly, however, "2.16. Utilized (IPv6)" seems to me would be very clear to anyone reading it and the obvious place to define utilization. :)

Thank you sir.
