Daniel,
Those who fail to learn from history...
Very true. How many prefixes are in the swamp?
What'd be better is for SOME organization, perhaps IANA, setting up one
provider-sized block of addresses for early adopters to USE.
Unless you are purposely trying to create a new (potentially *much*
larger) swamp, causing v6 to run into the _exact same_ routability
issues that exist with v4, setting aside a block for "early adopters"
would seem to be a move in exactly the wrong direction.
As Brian said, get address space from your upstream provider. If your
provider doesn't support v6, find another. If you can't find another
then get used to and deal with the fact that you will have to renumber.
Here's where the general wisdom that we should all shift to IPv6 meets
the reality that SOMEONE has to ante up and provide a way for folks to
start really working with the protocol, with REAL and routable
addresses.
Routability is defined by service providers, not TLA allocation
registries. The allocation registries merely define uniqueness,
something that does not matter if you are not connecting to the
Internet.
