2) Obtain ipv6 space from ARIN (inquired about getting space and ran
into some issues. need to speak with my co founder and get details.
evidently getting brand new v6 space for a brand new network is fairly
difficult. for now may just announce a /48 from he.net. ) Yes I did
come
up with a sub netting plan for the entire United States out of a single
/48. It's quite ingenious really. More details on request if anyone
wants them.
I wonder what would happen if a new ARIN member requested an IPv4 block of say
a /16 for a new business? Or even a smaller block. I don't know what the
current ARIN rules are but RIPE will currently give out six months worth of
space. Now, in six months, I don't expect there to be any left anyway, so what
will likely be all the v4 you ever get.
Hah. True.
I actually don't want any v4 space at all. I'm fine with using provider
space for my minimal v4 needs. However I believe if I had existing v4
space, that v6 space would be easier to obtain.
Very soon it'll be nigh on impossible for new entrants to the ISP business to
get their own v4 space.
Indeed.
In my case, I'm perfectly happy with v6 space. Can have very minimal v4
space for the time being. Google/netflix/facebook are reachable on v6.
This is the vast majority of the net traffic. I can do large scale nat
for v4 only content.
One aspect of my network, will be operational transparency. So as much
as possible will be viewable in real time. This includes v4/v6 traffic
statistics.
Also we do plan to expand into Europe and Asia. We are starting in the
US first due to the relationships we have already established. If anyone
is interested in supporting our activities in Europe, please let me know.
By our/we, I mean http://freenetworkfoundation.org/ (that's the non
profit piece. the advertising part is separate but will help fund the
non profit piece). Lots of dual use work being done.
