[AfriNIC-rpd] Address Utilization Criteria

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Then I¹m missing the point.

ULAs can¹t be announced. They are for private use (one or several
organizations).

What I understood from Graham is that he want to avoid the ³announce²
requisite in the existing policies.

Regards,
Jordi

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.
