to a /24<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
FYI, every other RIR allows partial block sales down to the minimum transfer size.
This might mean a negative impact due to route de-aggregation, but it has a positive impact on the supply of addresses for the market, as address-holders can sell small sections of their holdings that might be unused, without the need for emptying the entire block.</pre>

I think some text to cap the minimum transfer size to a /24 is
still reasonable from a router FIB resource management
perspective. I know it's not the RIR's job to be "operational",
but given that IPv4's last legs could easily cost Internet
infrastructure dearly, I think it's prudent.<br>
