I agree with you that there will probably be a long transition period. The assumption however is that a network will at some stage be fully migrated to IPv6 and the IPv4 addresses will not be needed anymore.
Sure. No-one disputes this. I suspect that it was only the lack of a timeframe which had me worried. (But that is what community discussion will provide, hopefully...)
Therefore we propose to use a policy that treats all organisations equally. The RIRs cannot decide who is allowed to have a top level IPv6 allocation. The ISPs themselves have much better mechanisms to address routing table growth.
Ok. Sounds good to me! Niall -- Enigma Consulting Limited: Security, UNIX and telecommunications consultants. Address: Floor 2, 45 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. http://www.enigma.ie/
