I think that we should stop trying to optimize or mitigate the IPv4 runout. New entrants are screwed if their have a plan that requires more than an IPv4/28 from upstream.
New entrants will need to do IPv6 from the first day, and we should make getting IPv6 (only) so cheap and simple that a new entrant can get PI IPv6 space for their internal infrastructure at a point where they might not have an AS or any IPv4. Let's have them think: how can I do *new innovative service* in native v6, rather than, "how do I doctor the paperwork convincingly enough so that I can get some of the last bit of IPv4" -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
