My colleges wanted to completely drop using public IP addressing in the infrastructure.
Your colleagues are wrong. Again, see RFC6752.
I am wondering if all the nay sayers would not agree that is it better to have a single public loopback address shared between all my interfaces, than to go with private addressing completely?
This is a false dichotomy.
Because frankly, that is the alternative.
It isn't the only alternative. The *optimal* alternative is to use publicly-routable link addresses, and then protect your infrastructure using iACLs, GTSM, CoPP, et. al. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Equo ne credite, Teucri. -- Laocoön
