Re: IPv6: Past mistakes repeated?

Sigh,
        Please -NOT- the PIARA again. There is near zero value in the
number/address and very real value in the routing slot. Perhaps it is 
best to simply have ebone route filter on the /16 boundaries to drive
home your point. (being cranky this morning)


% I would like to see a market develop for IPv4 addresses, along the
% lines of the late PIARA work.   This would also encourage a 
% market for routing-table entries, both of which would produce a significant
% incentive to dramatically improve upon on-the-fly host-renumbering.

%       Sean.
% 
% P.S. by "routing-table entries", I mean of course, not just the
%      consumption of memory and CPU resources in forwarding packets
% in to large numbers of possible destinations, but also the cost
% in various resources (bandwidth, CPU, complexity) of acquiring
% and propagating information which may lead to routing-table changes.
