[arin-ppml] Automatic IPv6 Eligibility

[Alfie Cleveland]

John -

Apologies if I wasn’t entirely clear. As referenced in Section 9.3.1. of the APNIC INPP, I propose that this also applies to end users - allowing end users to, free of charge, receive a /48 for each /24 they hold.

Regards,
Alfie

This similar to  Section 9.3.1. of the [APNIC-127] APNIC Internet Number Resource Policies. I feel that if organisations were able to receive a /48 for each /24 they hold, then it would help expedite the rollout of IPv6. Organisations currently have two choices - continue to use IPv4, or spend valuable time on applying for IPv6 space. IPv6 space is clearly in abundance - and this could potentially help slow the exhaustion of IPv4.
