Re: [address-policy-wg] Is the time for conservation over?
It sounds a little bit contradictory to give away IPv4 addresses when you want people to migrate to IPv6, doesn't it? One of the supposed advantage of IPv6 is the as-much-as-you-can-eat approach to addresses
So I think your proposal is seriously flawed and contradicts your desired goal.
You forgot this next bit. Think it through...
In addition, I don't see any good reason to wait until LIRs come and ask for IPv6 space. It's not scarce and the vast majority of IPv4 LIRs will be deploying IPv6 sometime. So why don't we just give every single one of them an IPv6 /32 today. Instead of creating barriers to the adoption
We give out free IPv6 addresses to everyone using IPv4. And we make it easier for new organizations to receive blocks of globally unique registered IPv4 addresses, i.e. not hijacked addresses and not RFC 1918 addresses. In any case, this is just lowering a barrier. It doesn't solve every IPv6 issue but it does remove an unecessary barrier. --Michael Dillon
Hi,

The obvious implication of this is that it pretty much guarantees the creation of a new and potentially much bigger swamp. I'll leave it to others to determine if that is a serious concern. Rgds, -drc

Hi David! I agree here.
