Apologies for the injection of operational content,
You've been on NANOG too long. :-)
but if anybody here is only accepting /32s on their v6 borders, their import policies are broken.
What's broken is that they believe the IANA and RIRs when they say:
4.3. Minimum Allocation
RIRs will apply a minimum size for IPv6 allocations, to facilitate prefix-based filtering.
The minimum allocation size for IPv6 address space is /32.
http://www.iana.org/ipaddress/ipv6-allocation-policy-26jun02
(See http://www.bgpexpert.com/archive2003q4.php for the full rant.)
There are legitimate prefixes being announced which are both shorter and longer than 32 bits (several high-profile nameservers fit into the latter category).
That's inconsistent with the published policy. Either reality or the policy documents have to be changed. When is the I* community going to deploy some quality control???
