Of course, this means that RIRs and ISPs have to cooperate in allocating IPv6 addresses using a rough kind of geographical plan. I suggest that this plan be anchored to the major cities where most interconnecting is done. This is also roughly aligned with the topology of the network if you can manage to visualize an entire city (Paris, London, Hannover, Krivoy Rog) as a single node in a network. It's that level of abstraction that leads to making sense of this kind of aggregation.
... and free transit into each geographical region would be mandatory ??? Aggregation across multiple administrative domains isn't just a minor technical change. It would eliminate the transit-provider business model. Disruptive technologies are facts of life and nobody has a god-given right to existence, but don't expect long-haul carriers to give up their business without a fight. //per -- Per Heldal heldal@eml.cc
