Hi,

Out of curiosity do you follow current RIPE PA filtering recommendation?

It is suggested that prefix filters allow for prudent subdivision of an
IPv6 allocation. The operator community will ultimately decide what
degree of subdivision is supportable, but the majority of ISPs accept
prefixes up to a length of /48 within PA space.

Our experience operating a /40 PA from RIPE is that a very low number of
AS filter at /32 on RIPE PA space and thus do not follow RIPE-532: based
on our users feedback we found only 3, one of which has announced it
will try to follow RIPE-532 in the future.

Sincerely,
