Interesting It's clear, that the NRO doesn't like the idea... but it would definitely solve many problems, if IP space was assigned per country...
(yes, I know, that the RIRs would still exist, but let's assume, that ALL IP-Space would only be assigned by countries) - Webshops who may not sell to certain countries could simply block some ranges - You could block mail with IPs from nigeria in them to never again receive mails from people who want to give you millions of $$$ - Route aggregation would be easy On the other hand there are also some negatives: - Countries like China could easily filter out traffic from US sites or any other country they don't like - International provides would have to get netblocks in each country they operate in, not only one large block at a cenral location But since IPv6 is never going into large-scale production, this discussion is maculature anyway :-) Cheers, Viktor On Donnerstag 18 November 2004 15.20, Peter Keel wrote: > http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/53394 > > The ITU would like to delegate IPv6-addressblocks to states, most > probably resulting in huge routing-tables. > > Here's the document, take a look at section 4.2b > http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/tsb-director/itut-wsis/files/zhao-netgov01.pdf > > Here's what the NRO thinks about it: > http://www.nro.net/documents/pdf/nro17.pdf > > Seegras _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.init7.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
