Shim6 is work in progress and may be used as an argument to adjust adress-assignment policies sometime in the future. If we want ipv6 deployed today we have to provide a mechanism to support requirements about redundancy and independence from individual providers.
I think this hit the nail on the head. Providers (especially those non-LIR) will not accept something along the lines of SHIM6 or A.N.Other competing idea until it gives them just that -- INBOUND ROUTING INDEPENDENCE.
Now you are mixing two issues that Per separated though. Per pointed out that shim6 is work in progress while we need a policy now.
My view is relatively simple; either give everyone who wants one and has an AS-Number a /32 or allow /48s into the backbone table. This is of course if we actually want to give up using IPv4; without the above most providers will see it as a step backward and a bad thing (tm).
I think each LIR should get a /32 and we should drop the 200 "customer" rule. But that is just me... - kurtis -
