[AfriNIC-rpd] Re: [resource-policy] AfriNIC Policy Proposal: IPv6ProviderIndependent (PI) Assignment for End-Sites

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Colin,

Unless I'm missing something, I think you're getting confused. There is not
such policy requiring for 100.000 endpoints. I recall a comment about
something like that as part of the discussion of the PI policy at ARIN, but
is not part of the existing policy in any region, I think.

In case I'm wrong, could you point to the specific document ?

Regards,
Jordi
