That doesn't mean abandoning it completely was a good idea. That system also didn't provide a mechanism for non-leaf ASes to get non-ASN-based allocations, which severely limited its scalability. We've jumped from one extreme to the other, when perhaps using both systems in parallel might be most efficient. > % > % draft-savola-multi6-asn-pi-01.txt > % > % (Well, I don't like that proposition either..) > % > % p.s. the correct forum may be multi6. > % > > % > Actually, the correct forum would be the RIR public policy mtgs. > % > % Not yet IMHO, see above. > > actually, I think it is imprudent to not include the > RIR public policy fourm in any discussions on new address > assignment plans. YMMV of course. I agree and invite input from ARIN members. NOTE: Please include in your comments whether you're a leaf or non-leaf AS.
