Re: [ipv6-wg@localhost] Re: [lir-wg] IXP networks routing

I'm mainly talking about the lack of a feasible way for end-customers
to get working multi-homing.  This ties directly into the "PI" space
question.
Multihoming today depends on the possession of an AS number. I see no
alternative to that prerequisite.

Size of current v4 routing table: roughly 120000 entries
Number of ASen visible : roughly 15000

So, if we simply give every AS number holder currently present in the v4
table a /32 or so, with STRICT instructions to forget getting another
prefix until half that prefix is pingable, we attain several things:
This is what Pekka Savola proposed in his draft. People will start screaming about 32-bit ASes. It's also similiar to my draft on creating IPv6 swap space. There are less than 15000 LIRs. Each LIRs /32 is more address space than most of them have today. Add the routes from all remaining AS:es. I don't see the problem.

I am still waiting for the IPv6 routing table to reach 1000 routes. Call me then.
