Hi, Mark:
1) " ... known defective products ... ": Could you please define what do you mean? And, what "products" do you have in mind? Otherwise, this sounds like a scare tactic without a foundation.

Selling / leasing known defective products is against lots of consumer law.-- Mark Andrews

In general, the RIRs themselves maintain neutrality about such things, looking to their respective communities for input on what to do. However, so long as the IETF and has not designated the space Unicast Address Space to be delegated to the RIRs for allocation/assignment, IANA will not delegate it to the RIRs and the RIRs won?t, therefore, delegate it to users. If you really want to see this happen (and I still argue that the amount of effort already wasted discussing this idea vastly exceeds what would be needed towards IPv6 to get beyond caring about it), then the first step must be to convince the IETF to designate the space IPv4 Unicast and instruct the IANA to begin issuing those /8s to the RIRs. Once that happens, the rest of the allocation process is basically automatic. From a policy perspective at the RIR level, it will be no different than say 4/8 or 1/8.Actually it would be fundamentally different to 4/8 or 1/8. You are looking at firmware upgrades rather than dealing with squatters and out-of-date ACLs both of which are self-inflicted by one of the parties. Routers and end devices that don?t know how to hand 240/4 are no self inflicted injuries. Issuing 4/8 or 1/8 worked for parties that had been following the rules. With 240/4 there where no rules to follow which results in RIR?s leasing known defective addresses.I was speaking from an RIR allocation perspective, NOT talking about the technological hurdles to implementation. I was specifically responding to someone?s question about how the RIRs would be impacted by this if it were to come to pass. I addressed your concern in the following paragraph as an aside, however.Now, convincing vendors to update their firmware, software, etc. is another matter and entirely outside of the control of the RIRs. Merchant compliance with IETF standards is generally considered useful, but it is entirely voluntary and even in the best of circumstances doesn?t every happen instantaneously and almost always involves some stumbles along the way.
