Plain simple. there are a lot of organizations now having PI without having an ASN and beeing multihomed. a transition to v6 with this policy would make things much worse for them, so why should they? on the other hand, 1 ASN -> 1 v6 prefix does not necessarily mean 1 v6 prefix -> 1 ASN. might work out. > The convenience factor _is_ already outlawed. true for new allocations, but there is a gigantic installed base, and making their situation worse isn't exactly helping in getting v6 deployed. -- Henning Brauer, BS Web Services, http://bsws.de [email protected] - [email protected] Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
