What provisions are in place that would stop anyone from doing the same with PA space? What stops anyone from implementing them for both IPv6 PA & PI?
There is no real incentive to do so, as you can get a huuuuuge block of addresses fairly easily. The incentive to do this with PI is "save on the costs" - and then, since the PI policy doesn't permit you to give address blocks from the PI space to your access customers, the consequence would be "if you can only give a single IPv6 address to the customers, that's all the customer is going to get" (and the blame will be pointed to the RIPE NCC). There be dragons - consider well what your message to the "large-scale access providers" is supposed to be, and what the implications might be. (There's more dragons, and babies & bathwater as well - make sure that a policy that takes into account the large-scale access providers doesn't break things for web hosting shops... and these seem to be more our problem right now) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 150584 SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
