Define long prefix length. Owen has been fairly forceful in his advocacy of /48s at every site. Is this too long a prefix? Should peers only except /32s and shorter? On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 1:12 PM, David Conrad <drc@virtualized.org> wrote:

Would it help if ARIN's policies were changed to allow anyone and everyone to obtain PI space directly from them (for the appropriate fee, of course), and then it was left up to the operating community to decide whether or not to route the smaller chunks of space? I really don't expect this to be as much of an issue in IPv6.
Why would the commercial interests that have driven ISPs to remove long prefix length filters in IPv4 not apply to IPv6?
