Network administrators want private (read: not publicly routable) addresses. Telling them that they are full of it is not going to change this, and if they don't have them what you will get instead of well-known-private is guess-what-I-hijacked private. Take your pick. > There is some work underway in multi6 regarding > mechanisms for provider-independent allocation > of globally routable addresses. Wouldn't that be > better? There is no work currently underway in multi6. Multi6 is not chartered to develop solutions.
