Everybody knows a lot of ISPs use PI at result of non-ideal IPv4 assignment policy from the RIPE NCC side.
I should point out that the policy is not made by the RIPE NCC but by *this* community. The "PI loophole for IPv4 ISPs" was pointed out a few times by people from the NCC, and the community did not want to change it - so don't blaim the NCC for it.
The single solution is to make PI cost = PA cost and allow ISP to move PI > PA without additional problems.
Cost is out of scope for the address policy WG. PI -> PA conversion can be done today already, if a PI holder is or becomes a LIR - but that's a different thing than what is under discussion of this proposal. So it would be good to stay focused, and not discuss everything that has gone wrong with IPv4 in this thread. thanks, Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
