IPv6 blocks for micro-allocation

Hello Jeroen,

I have already checked the page, but the filters in the page are a
little loose for our purpose.

For example, from the strict filter for IOS, etc. in the page,
> ipv6 prefix-list ipv6-ebgp-strict permit 2001:0c00::/23 ge 48 le 48

The above line permits, e.g. 2001:c00:1::/48, 2001:c00:2::/48, ...
However I think these /48 prefixes should be rejected because
2001:c00::/32 is a PA block. In order to accept prefixes of APNIC PI
only, I think I have to know strictly the block (and prefix range)
for APNIC PI assignemnts.


And I think the information is more important to build such filters
for JUNOS. The strict filter for JUNOS in the page permits, e.g.
2001:df0:2::/48, 2001:df0:3::/48, ... (I believe these prefixes are
APNIC PI), but the filter rejects, e.g. 2001:c00::/32, 2001:c08::/32, ...
because these /32 prefixes match the line below,
> route-filter 2001:0c00::/23 prefix-length-range /48-/48;

I think the line has to be replaced e.g., with
"route-filter 2001:df0::/29 prefix-length-range /44-/48". (The range
is not "/48-/48" because "2001:df0::/47" has been assigned to a site.)

Best regards,
