[Fwd: New IPv6 allocations from IANA to RIPE NCC (2a00::/21) and ARIN (2600::/22, 2604::/22, 2608::/22, 260c::/22)]

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Hi,

since it also has operational relevance (BGP filters, whois updates and
so on), does anyone actually know the new allocation policy IANA follows
starting with those allocations?

It is obviosly not the old /12 per RIR proposal, looking at the blocks
allocated it looks like an /7 or /8 per RIR. Can anyone comment and also
provide the blocks for APNIC, LACNIC and AfriNIC (if already known)?

Thanks
Bernhard
