Am I mistaken in thinking that if shim6 (or something like it) did exist, that portable address space could be allocated to everyone (maybe with a different allocation policy?) to be used as (shim6) identifiers. Then, a number of years down the line, if the company met certain criteria they could get an ASN and announce the portable address space as routing prefix if they desired? John
