Sure it is, but it's a difference in the amount of customers you can
support, isn't it?

With the old /48 HD ratio 0.80 policy, a /32 was to support a customer
base of 52.429 before you qualified for additional address space. With
the new /56 policy with HD ratio 0.94, RIPE NCC asks for 6.183.533
customers before the /32 allocation is deemed efficiently used.

Is my understanding of the policy wrong?

Best regards,
Daniel
