Findings of Document
RIPE-196 needs to be reviewed with the following in mind
- The “default” allocation for end-node is now /48
- This may change some of the sizing assumptions
- The world has moved on since RIPE-196 was authored
- We now have startups, world-wide organisations and possibly IXPs that need to work with IPv6
- It was anticipated that v6 adoption would be top-down driven, but instead it appears to be bottom-up (edge-in)
- There is perhaps some unnecessary bureacracy in the bootstrap process (especially for startups)
- There is a tension between creating a scalable routing heirarchy and operating with the 80% usage/slow start
- Wierd bit boundaries (/29, /35)
- May lead to mistakes
- Doesn’t satisfy equally well different community’s needs
