Oh, I overlooked that part of your email, but it shows part of your misconception... jeroen@unfix.org (Jeroen Massar) wrote:
You need a /28 and want "Provider Independence". I use a /28 at home. Lets say that I want "PI" too, that would mean I am going to get, pay for and maintain: - Multiple Redundant Routers - Multiple Redundant Links - Multiple Redundant Transits - Own 24/7 NOC (things will fail) - and a lot more...
You are willing to do and pay for all that, but don't want to become an LIR?
The point to this is, that with v6 it is not sufficient to be a LIR to get an independently routable block. You can have as many AS numbers as you want - you get them, when you need them - but you will simply not get a v6 block if you do not have 200 customers, prospective or not. That's the independently-networking end-user problem we have. PI would solve that. Removal of the 200 customer rule would solve that. One-block- per-LIR would solve that. Elmar.
