The obvious, and I think best, solution (presuming that distribution of registration is desirable) is for IANA to generate independent random prefixes in advance and delegate these en masse. The delegated registrars can then assign the prefixes they have been given to individual registrants, either sequentially or randomly. This is not an expensive operation. I oppose your idea of having allocated prefixes be numerically related, because it defeats the aim of having no discernable structure in the prefix IDs. Whoever generates the prefixes must do so randomly and independently. -zefram -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
