The thing that I would like to remind is that the decision making about two letter country TLDs subdomains are given to LIRs residing in the same country.I would like to ask why the same approach is not implemented about IPv6 address space allocation.
Because a host ending in .gr is not obliged to reside withing the geographical boundaries of Greece (and this is true for many country TLDs). Also, you have .com, .net, .org, .edu (and comming .inc .whatever) TLDs that are not bounded within a country. This is the case for TLDs. Now immagine this: You have company A based say in Greece. Now company A opens offices AB in Bulgaria. Should company A get another address space slice for AB offices, or should it use addresses from the A slice, assuming there exists a direct connection from A to AB? Why make things more complicate than they already are? The geography on the Internet is different that the "physical" one, which is the one the Telcos use. ------------------------------------ Yiorgos Adamopoulos <adamo@ieee.org>
