but even if we in San Fransisco would agree on a new routing model,
it would still take us at least 3-5 years to implement.
See the migration to BGP4 as example.
5 years is overly optimistic, IMHO.
Probably.
I say go for /48 PI space. Take a /16 (or something suitable) and
divide it per RIR, and use it as PI space.
This is way too risky. Potentially, 4 billion routes. I agree that we

I am more worried about ever reaching 1k, or 10k....

want to be the guy that recommended that we re-create the IPv4 swamp,
because this is exactly what we are talking about.
Yupp. That is the advantage. We can take the same policy, and learn. No
need for implementations or arguments over assignment policy.
10 or 15 years ago, we gave away swamp space to anyone that wanted it
because nobody thought that it would ever have a scalability issue. 4

everyone was very aware of the scaling issues. But decided to put them
forward and buy time.

this?
I call it IPv6 swamp.
It is! No question, but do you want to wait 5+ years?
