Re: [lir-wg] RE: [ipv6-wg@localhost] Discussion about RIPE-261

Without tweaking routing, a more efficient way would be to use the
fact
that IPv6 blocks are a lot larger than IPv4 blocks and simply give one
/32 to every LIR. I guess this would only work with RIPE who have the
concepts of LIRs but anyway.
Yes, it would be very convenient. I might want to advocate extending
it to
be "one /32 per 16-bit AS" and have the routing table grow to a
whopping
2^16 routes. That must be painful. Surely.
This has been proposed a number of times...
32-bit AS numbers is something I see taken care of by Moore, if we do
not
find a new routing model, which of course is the elegant way, but for
now,
brute force does it.
...but the counter argument is that 32-bits are just around the corner.
The problem here is that they should be, but if they where we still are
looking at at least 3-5 years of deployment.
