Hi Gert,

Actually that’s not the case since 2020, as my policy proposal (2019-06) updating several parts of the policy amended this to:

5.4.2. Assignments shorter than a /48 to a single End Site
Assignments larger than a /48 (shorter prefix) or additional assignments exceeding a total of a /48 must be based on address usage or because different routing requirements exist for additional assignments.
In case of an audit or when making a request for a subsequent allocation, the LIR must be able to present documentation justifying the need for assignments shorter than a /48 to a single End-Site.

So right now, you just do the assignment, and you will need to justify in case of an audit or if you request more space.

If I recall correctly, I did similar adjustments in other RIRs.

Regadrs,
Jordi
