Yes, I do. I consider that a responsible approach. IPv4 lasted ~30 years before it ran into serious problems, I want IPv6 to last a lot longer. I also want it to scale so everybody can use it.
This wasn't a real problem in the IPv4 world, i really doubt that is an immanent problem in the IPv6 world if the policies are identical; by design, most entities will have a single prefix (or per site worst case) and stay with that for most of their days.
Yes, but the problem is if everybody (or even 1%) in the world wants to multihome, then it doesn't scale.
I'm not sure why there should be a higher IPv6 "PI" usage rate than for IPv4.
Because more and more people (and companies) are adopting Internet usage and in 20-30 years time the demand for multihoming is most likely going to substantially higher than today. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
