What I think perhaps would be interesting to see in the future with regards to IPv6 and PI is the following: 1. No PI. _Only_ network operators get a prefix. 2. Customers of network operators can at any time change provider and take their assigned prefix with them. The new provider will announce it as a more specific overriding the aggregate. If the customer decides to get multiple providers, then the network operator with the /32 could also announce a more specific. In the country I live in I can change telecom provider and take my phone number with me to the new provider. Why shouldn't I be able to do that with internet providers? Yes, it will somehow create millions/billions of prefixes (atleasat with todays routing technology/protocols). Network operators should be able to handle that hence rule #1. Joergen Hovland
