It is generally understood in the routing community that some kind of prefix length filtering is desirable and/or necessary. So the question becomes: on which bit boundary do we filter? This question seems to be answered by:
http://lacnic.net/en/chapter-4.html http://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/ipv6-address-policy http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6-policies.html http://www.arin.net/policy/ipv6_policy.html http://www.iana.org/ipaddress/ipv6-allocation-policy-26jun02
In fact, we have a shorter and easier to read document giving details of minimum allocation lengths. It was produced at the request of the routing community and can be found at:
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html>
We update it when we receive a new block from the IANA.
