And the rules for that are sufficiently strict - you have to prove a distinct routing policy. That means either multihoming two at least two upstreams, or upstream plus peering. The shops who have only legacy PI space announced by their single static routed upstream won't qualify. Plain simple. I say: there won't be any landrush effect, as getting ASN+PI in IPv4 is today already as easy as possible, given technical justification that you need it. The convenience factor _is_ already outlawed. Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: [email protected] -- [email protected] -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
