Hi Jordi, all, On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 05:49:49PM +0400, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ wrote:
Typically, such organisations will require the PI assignment to become Multihomed as happens for IPv4, but there may be other reason behind requests. This policy proposal is only trying to cover this type of PI assignments (for example data centers which are not an ISP, or content providers).
What about a more radical proposal, ie. eliminating the LIR/End User distinction altogether? Since so many LIRs are, ipso facto, end-users (as Jordi points out above) the distinction becomes more and more historical anyway. Obviously, this would not be workable for v4 space, but I really see no reason not to have just one type of allocation in ipv6. This would also completely eliminate the need for PIv6.
