I am just trying to understand this part. From what I can understand,
the relative stability of the GUPI addresses with respect to global
addresses is higher. Is that the sole reason why you would pay an
ISP to route these prefixes instead of getting a global prefix from
the same ISP ? What are the reasons why uou want the GUPI to be
routeable ?

thanks
