Limiting of final /8 policy to specific /9
Proposal text
prop-091-v001
Synopsis
This is a proposal to modify the policies for distribution of the "final /8" to only apply to a specific /9 block of the final /8, on the basis that the current policies would unnecessarily prevent the use of over 8 million IPv4 addresses that otherwise should be used to enable
user connections.
Current status
Abandoned. Abandoned.
