| An unadministered PI scheme that generated unique prefixes would satisfy the | first 2 requirements. However, allowing such addresses to be globally | routeable has two drawbacks: | - affects global routing tables, possibly badly | - raises 'approximately unique' requirement to 'unique'
<stupid-question> The global-routing-table-size argument crops up often. Could someone produce a link to a document which explains exactly what the problem is (I know what the problem is believed to be) and why it is considered a biggie.<stupid-question>
<shocking-ingorance> I have heard figures to the effect that current usage of v4 PI translated into v6 PI would require on the order of 1G memory in bgp routers. I just can't figure out why 1G memory is considered a lot in this game - my graphics card will probably have next to that much in a couple of years and I haven't bought a pc with less memory for a couple of years now... </shocking-ignorance> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
