Phil: "If your kid wakes up at night and says 'daddy > I'm thirsty can I get some water' you don't say 'I'm not thirsty, you > don't need water', you give the kid a glass of water. Everyone has > different needs." Right, but, if your kid wakes up at night and says "Daddy, I've got a hankering to blow stuff up. Can I get a grenade?" You don't just hand the kid a live grenade, whether you like to blow stuff up or not. Most of the opposition to ULA-C is because we see real downsides to it and don't see ANY upsides. Advantages of ULA-C (even to those who claim there are some): Virtually none. Some minor configuration convenience if a number of unsubstantiated assumptions are hard-coded into routers. Disadvantages of ULA-C: Nothing prevents it from becoming another form of provider-independent routed space on the internet. The policies for ULA-C are likely to be different from the policies for PI. If both address spaces function in an equivalent manner and have different policies to obtain/maintain the addresses, then the policy mechanism is undermined. etc. Owen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
