ARIN has replied to me privately that two IPv6 tunnels over the same physical link count as "multihoming"; another PPML poster has told me privately he's actually gotten an ASN that way. IMHO this needs to be corrected, but it doesn't appear to be abused except out of novelty, so it's not a dire emergency. >> Could you finally make up your mind?

My reading of the proposal is that it would allow anyone who is multihomed to get a PIv6 /48 if they can demonstrate the ability to utilize 256 addresses immediately and 512 addresses within one year, or 1024 and 2048 addresses, respectively, if not multihomed. The address counts appear to be reasonable at first blush. They're high enough to stop residential and SOHO users, but low enough for nearly any shop with BGP clue to get a block. Do remember that only a few hundred direct assignments have been made under the PIv4 policy, so apparently it's not _too_ low or we'd have seen a land rush already. As far as fees, if the org already has IPv4 space of some sort, the PIv6 assignment will presumably be free through 31 Dec 07 like PAv6 assignments and USD1250/yr after that. The idea of charging thousands of dollars more to discourage PIv6 applications is not in line with existing fee schedules and rather pointless since folks can apparently claim to be LIRs without much difficulty and pay USD2250/yr for a /32.
