Re: IPv6 will never fly: ARIN continues to kill it

Oh man, that's rich.  Do you actually believe that?

    If you design the network for IPv6 and not just copy the
    IPv4 model.  If you use the technology that has been developed
    over the last 20 years, rather than disabling it, yes it is
    possible.

OK, how is it possible to automate the renumbering of my firewall
entries which contain IPv6 addresses and prefixes?

        Ask your firewall vendor.  It isn't rocket science to add
        support for multiple prefixes.  If you all ask they will
        listen.
 
How is it possible to automate the renumbering of my extranet business
partner firewalls who also contain some of my IPv6 addresses and
prefixes?

        Configure a secure channel to push that information to them.

        I do that today for IPv4 for my home network.  My ISP changes
        my address and I automatically inform the people that need
        to know of the address change.  I also get zero advance
        notice of the address change.  I just wake up in the morning
        and find that it has changed at 3 am.  Happens about once
        every 3 months.

How do I automate the renumbering of router ACLs in my own IPv6 network?

        Talk to your router vendor.

        I was not kidding when I suggested that router and firewall
        vendors should renumber regularly.  The only way to make
        this sort of thing work is to exercise the path until all
        the problems are gone.

These are purely theoretical questions, but I do know of many instances
where these kinds of things do need renumbering when an IP address
prefix changes.

Please don't say DEN, WBEM, etc.
