[AfriNIC-rpd] Address Utilization Criteria

[Walubengo J]

Jordi,

not sure if ULAs would address Graham's needs. From my understanding, he seems to want "Full-internet" services but constrained within a limited Geographic location (hence the likelihood that the block allocated need not be "globally" announced"  . 

My understanding of ULAs is that they are "private" though  routable IPv6s. Not sure if the "private" aspect would compromise the "Full-internet" capabilities that Graham seeks. Put differently, he perhaps seeks an exception change in policy that requires globall announcements for IP allocations within 12mnths...

walu.

For those applications, in IPv6, you should use ULAs, not global addresses !
