Here is a rather radical proposal:
Peerings between 6bone sites MUST NOT carry any other routes apart
from 3FFE and a summary route for 2001/3.
This achieves a number of goals:
- it provides a clear distinction between the experimental part from the rest of
the IPv6 world
- interconnections between 6bone and the rest of the IPv6 world can still
be numerous and reliable
- existing services in the 3FFE space can be accessed from everywhere,
noone is cut off
- cost-free trial implementation is still possible, but transition to RIR space
is encouraged
- since RIR sites can filter RIR space from peerings with 6bone sites,
BGP problems from 6bone sites will not affect the global network
and last but not least
- it's a very simple, verifyable criterion
Of course, all is not gold, so there are some drawbacks:
- 6bone sites will no longer see 2001 routes, so they will need to do
"closest exit" routing to the nearest RIR site.
- peerings between dual (RIR & 6bone) sites will not carry 2001 space
- propably others I haven't thought of
