Allow me to share the way it works for enterprises: - I am already paying $2.5k/yr to ARIN for portable IPv4 address space. - Although I could do without, I am ready to pay another $2.5k/yr for portable IPv6 address space (when IPv6 takes off, that is). - If globally unique IPv6 address space is free, I am willing to give these $2.5k/yr to my ISP to announce my /48. - On top of that, if doing so also solves the IPv6 multihoming issue, where do I sign? On the operator side, I do acknowledge that we have some of them around that do what they are supposed to and filter, thanks to people that promote routing table health such as Jeroen and Gert. That being said, the hard facts are that a) as of today 42% of my IPv6 BGP routing table is made of /48s, /64s and other crud and b) lots of ISP will think twice before refusing my $2.5k/yr to announce my prefix. > and that overrides whatever language is in the draft :-( Which is doubly lame, because 1) I should not offer the money and 2) they should not accept it; bottom line though is that both them and I run a business, not a charity.
