Right now, the global IPv6 policy has no provisions at all for PI assignments. This could be changed, of course, if we ("the RIPE policy making community") agree that this is a desireable goal.
As I *personally* see IPv6 as a dead duck (sorry all those who put work into it, but opinions are opinions) - so this matters little to me.
Let me ask you a question, though. What good is non-routeable PI (except for the IXP peering mesh)? So what good is it to have a policy that hands out PI without caring for routing?
Cough. Lucky I finished my coffee, else it might be mesy here. PRIVATE INTERCONNECTS. Real world example follows, which is why my primary employer has a PI assignment; we interconnect using IPsec VPNs and some leased lines with a number of other enterprises. We use RFC1918 *internally* and so do many others. What addressing scheme would you suggest we use to talk, especially as we DO NOT want this traffic to accidentally leak onto the public internet ? While I do not believe IPv6 will ever happen, *my* opinion I don't want to discuss it, if I get it wrong and it does, how will you achieve that same thing ? Peter
