[6bone] Roadmap to IPv6 multihoming: no PI addresses.

Robert,

==> - IPv6 End User Site Assignment Request Form in the RIPE
==>    NCC Service Region (for prefixes shorter than a /48)

Thanks for the precision. It would be interesting to follow up how many of these are allocated, as it makes little sense to me. If you need a /48, you have more than 64k subnets. It appears dangerous to me configuring a network that size with addresses that belongs to a LIR, even if you actually own the LIR.

If my memory is correct, the feds forced WorldCom to sell CWnet a while ago, leaving some parts of MCI to renumber.

Michel.
