Bob, the question here is the following: How to avoid that a boom of (virtual) LIRs destroys the whole Internet Registry structure? My proposal is simple: only such a LIR should get IPv6 addresses in 2002 and 2003 that already had experiences in IPv4 registration for at least two years. This might sound very restrictive, however it is better to start something new with people already having some experiences than creating a situation that we can not handle later on. In two years we can have lift this constraint. Best regards, Geza Turchanyi Bob Hinden <hinden@IPRG.nokia.com> dátum: 2002.02.06 20:20:49 Címzett: Gert Doering <gert@Space.Net> Másolat: "Alec H.

In that 1/8th, we have 500 million /32s. I proposed to give out 2000 of them per region. So roughly this is 0.001 per cent of the available /32s in the 1/8ths that we're currently using.
Yes, I vote for "let's waste that 0.001 per cent", and then reconsider.
I think this is a good approach. To compare with the IPv4 history, many of the early allocations in IPv4 were the old Class A prefixes. Each Class-A prefix consumed 0.391% of the total IPv4 address space. To compare with the new IPv6 registry proposal, each IPv6 /32 prefix consumes 0.000000186% of the total IPv6 address space. This is roughly equivalent to the amount of address space used by a /29 prefix allocation in the IPv4 space. Bob - - This list (global-v6) is handled by majordomo@lists.apnic.net
