Re: moving to IPv6

Hi, Perhaps I'm being rather naive, but one of the really cool things about the initial 6bone test address space was that the prefix was completely AS based.. theoretically if an adressing scheme was adopted that did not permit transferrible address space (think NAT) the entire backbone routing table could be simply composed of AS paths and relationship's between AS's. (if an addressing scheme based on AS or some kind of AS equivalent was adopted) Ofcourse AS's all of a sudden become a hot commodity.. but today, most routing policy is dictated based on AS more than by address space.. nm
