more to the point, we're expecting vast numbers of ULA-C prefixes to be allocated -- tens of thousands -- hundreds of thousands? -- millions?? -- and the RIR community is uncomfortable with having to upgrade their routers to be able to handle that number of prefixes. therefore they're pushing for FC00::/7 or some other fingerprint that makes them un-DFZ-able, and in exchange, they seem to be comfortable with a much lower barrier to acquisition for this type of prefix. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
