hi Izumi, Thanks for your comments. I have tried to answer your question below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Registration requirements
---------------------------------
(snip)
* Assignments for networks of /48 or less may be registered, at
the discretion of the LIR and the network administrator.
* Assignments to hosts may be registered, at the discretion of
the LIR and the end site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is stated that assignments longer than /48 can be registered. Would
such registrations be taken into account when calculating the
utilization?
If they are in the database, then yes they will be counted towards utilisation.
Rather like in IPv4 today, I think it unlikely that people will register individual hosts. People may wish to register longer than /48 network assignments, but it is not compulsory, as is stated in the language.If the answer is yes, I am not sure if the needs for the registrations are strong enough, especially registering assignments in host basis,
However, where longer assignments are being made, I think it is legitimate to make one entry for a /48 that covers (for example) all customer assignments within that /48.
From 3rd quarter of this year no assignment information will be public by default in the APNIC database - however it assignment information will be stored in private in MyAPNIC.
