There are many ways to mediate this. No matter what one is chosen a balance
between market, Networks and policy will need to be met. And in the end
Networks will do what is best for their network. However if there is a norm of
some kind, then at least there will be a target to hover around.
Market & Networks-
Pro- Entities managing the health of their network would be less willing to
route what would result in overload.
Con- The more financially healthy Entities can afford faster turn over and burn
to new routers and circuit upgrades. The upper hand of growth goes to them
since overload wouldn't be as much as an internal issue as it would be to other
smaller networks. The global scheme gets lost in the eye of the mighty dollar.
This is not anything new market pattern wise but Larger/Financially healthy
entities would survive better than any smaller provider.
Policy
Pro- there would be a set standard to target
Con- policy is managed by the community and not always supporting every
business model equally. Plus policy can become a moving target as we have
witnessed with IPv4.
List Publishing-Policy
Pro- qualified ASN's are approved a range of subnet size of route
advertisements and any "too specific/smaller" advertisements are ignored
if not on the list.
Con- this is policy. No one tells a network what to do.
Set Boundary policy
Pro- something exists as a target to help manage the issue
Con- policy is very likely to become a moving target. No one tells a
network what to do.
Keep Head in Sand
Pro- Happy
Con- Calamity...but when? Or will there be a new option...the next best thing.
Hope in one hand and @#$$ in the other. One usually fills up faster.
Somehow the community needs to choose one of these paths.

Yeah, but who doesn't run CIDR now?
Get everyone in the IPv6 pool now; we'll inevitably add hacks later....
