You do realize that in IPv6 there is enough address space to supply such a "land rush" in an orderly manner so that everyone gets their unique PI block? [..] That is precisely why I am promoting the concept of geo-topo addressing. This solves global routing table problem by using roughly 5000 routes for city-based aggregates to serve millions of PI address blocks. And it can be done with no new protocols, no new technology and no changes to the existing PA address regime for ISPs which want to stick with pure classic PA addresses. Only ISPs which want to offer services to geo-topo address holders will need to make adjustments to their internal practices.
Understood. I just wanted to comment on that specific comment, which wasn't made in the context of geo-topo addressing, but more "generally".
