<p>It seems you kind of disregards the basics of IP assignment and
mix up things and what they were made for and thought for. It is
not because something looks convenient, that is something right.
When conveniences prevail over the main point we start to miss the
discussion propose. What you are saying below looks more a
personal preference if you were in charge of an IX to make it
develop than what is the main point of the discussion how
resources from a special pool should be treated.<br>
IXPs are not Broadband Services Providers nor RIRs and are not
meant to distribute IP space to anyone. IXPs need the IPs to build
its core services in order to interconnect ASNs locally.
Organizations connecting to an IXP have the ability to go directly
to the RIR and get resources from there through different ways and
that's how it should continue.</p>

<div>I think we can generally count on IXPs not to distribute
large portions of their resources to cache providers that do not
bring significant value to the users of the IX with those
resources. To the best of my knowledge, there is no problem of
abuse to date. As such, I think your concern here has about as
much credibility as those crying about election fraud in the US.</div>

<p>By doing this it creates a short path to some
specific type of Internet companies over the others to
have access to scarce resources via someone else's
right (the IX) to request those addresses for the
minimum necessary to setup an IX, not to 'give a hand'
to third parties. It would start to distort the
purpose of the pool.<br>
</p>
<p>Content providers members are members like any other
connected to that IX. Why make them special to use
these resources if other members (e.g: Broadband
Internet Service Providers) connected to that same IX
cannot have the same privilege ?<br>
They and any other IX member, regardless of their
business, can get their own allocations with their own
resources.</p>

<p>I have a similar conversation recently
with someone willing to use IXP
allocations to assign to content caches
and on this point I think that IXP pool
should not be for that. Even knowing the
positive impact a hosted content directly
connected to a IXP makes it is their
business to being their own IP address not
the IXP and to be fair if you think of any
CDN service they all have total means to
do that. Therefore IXP allocations should
be used for IXP own usage, so internal
Infrastructure and to connect members and
things should not be mixed up.<br>
