The clash is about:
* RIR-space + guaranteed globally unique + *CAN* be routed on the internet - you will have to do paperwork and pay for it
My point of view: RIR-s space is for routing on the Internet. Not for private use! So it MUST be routed on the Internet.
Bad point of view. You are going to require that people route everything onto the Internet? Not going to happen. There are a lot of assigned blocks which you will never ever see on the Internet. And why would they be, it is their network, thus theirs to route or not, to firewall or not.
And private networks should invent their own rules, personally I will not object that as far as it is not affect my access to public part of the Internet!
You mean a separate registry so that when people are "OH I WANT INTERNETZ" that they simply announce their prefix, which clashes with real prefixes on the Internet !? That will be a lot of fun. The sole reason for having registries in the first place is to make sure these little numbers are globally unique and that they thus don't clash. Ever tried to merge the network of a couple of banks after they where acquired by each other and all where using 192.168.0.0/16 in their internal "totally private" networks? Uniqueness is what is needed there for that to work. With IPv6 one has to option of ULA, for IPv4 though, there is not enough space for such a method, next to that, IPv4 is on the end of its life anyway. If one is going to deploy a network, use IPv6, especially when it is going to be "totally private" anyway, then just use ULA and you are happy. Greets, Jeroen
