I agree. I have two questions though; 1. Are there no expectations on having more RIRs in the lifespan of the 001 segment of IPv6 space ? ie, will we run out of reserved blocks ? I am very worried we may indeed run out. 2. What's the purpose of "various". Please give some detail about what can and can not fit into this /6. I think that reserving /8s is better than /6s. The DNS issue is one thing, the scalability question in (1) is another. A /8 should be enough for a RIR in the midterm future, if a RIR explodes (IP space wise) they can always be plugged into another /8 in the future. I think this will be a more stable situation than scaling down from /6s to /7s (as Gert suggested). -- ---------- - - - - -+- - - - - ---------- Pim van Pelt Email: pim@ipng.nl http://www.ipng.nl/ IPv6 Deployment -----------------------------------------------
