multihoming is simple, you get an address block and route it to your upstreams. the policy surrounding that is another debate, possibly for another group this thread is discussing how v4 to v6 migration can operate on a network level Steve On Fri, Jun 29, 2007 at 01:37:23PM +, Christian

Amazink! Some things on NANOG _never_ change. Trawling for trolls I must be. If you want to emulate IPv4 and destroy the DFZ, yes, this is trivial. And you should go ahead and plan that migration. As you well known, one of the core assumptions of IPv6 is that the DFZ policy stay intact,

Hi Christian, I am not seeing how v4 exhaustion, transition to v6, multihoming in v6 and destruction ov DFZ are correlated. If you took everything on v4 today and migrated it to v6 tomoro the routing table would not grow - actually by my calculation it should shrink (every ASN would only

Hi Steve, Sure... I've never mention 3 STM4... the example said 3 carriers. OK, you may do it with communities, but if you advertise all in just one prefix, even with communities, I find it very difficult to control the trafic when it pass through 2 or more AS (it may be quite easy for the

Hmm I find this topic quite interesting. First is the belief that the Internet will suddenly break on the day when the last IP block is allocated by an RIR - the fact that most of the v4 space is currently not being announced may mean we have many years before there are real widespread

Steve - For the first end site that has to connect via IPv6, it will be very bad if there is not a base of IPv6 web/email sites already in place. While there are going to efforts to recover unused IPv4 space, we're currently going through 10 to 12 blocks of /8 size
