But less PI space. Since some evangelists belive in the superiority of IPv6 and try everything to make it impossible to get routable PI space. At the moment IPv6 is a step backwards in all regards. If the idea would be to get everybody to use v6 then the RIR should give out IPv6 ranges like candy -- if you have a PI IPv4 space you should get a PI IPv6 space. But instead people still dream of the 10k routing table... I know one thing for sure. In the next few years the internet will suck. -- :wq Claudio
