The issue isn't about allocating a bigger netblock to the RIRs or not, the issue are more how big it should be. Anything bigger than /8 is shooting ourself in the foot and limiting our options when we in 10-20years figure out a much better way to use the address space. Even /12 is overkill but it will last for a while and we don't get more fragmentation of the IPv6 space than we have today with those ridiculous /23 allocation. Allocate maximum one /8 for each RIR and give them a /12 _now_, not in 1 years time! Just stop those /23 allocation... I'm still quite Junior and young compared to most of you, and I have no interest in getting into trouble with IPv6 in some years (20+) similar to what there are today with IPv4 due to we thought we could waste _too_ much of the address space:) ...Not to mention the trouble we for sure will have with regards to how to solve one of the unsolved "problems", multihoming.... just my 2 Euro cents:) (that we in 20+ years will face a situation where IPv6 most likely aren't usable, that's a total different story) On Wed, 11 Aug 2004, Daniel Roesen wrote: > On Wed, Aug 11, 2004 at 09:04:21AM +0100, Jon Lawrence wrote: > > Yes, doubling does seem unwise. > > It would make sense (to me anyway) that once xx% of a /12 is allocated then > > another /12 is issued to the RIR. > > Indeed.
