Why toss all of that aboard, pretending we cannot work around the routing problem for now when moving to IPv6
because my routers do not have a 'pretend' mode and i know of no router vendors testing such a mode.
Our routers' 'pretend' mode is called route filtering. Perhaps you've heard of it too. There are no problems with route filtering at e.g. sTLA /32 boundary _if_ RIR's would be adamant in their policies not to give a /32 or shorter out to people that don't need them. And once 6bone pTLA's are killed, the table would be clean. .. with IPv4, it's too late to start filtering in significant-enough boundaries like /16-/19.. let's not make the same mistake here. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
