Re: The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6
So we should deploy IPv6... I get it. The argument comes up time and time again. I would do it tomorrow - nay, today - if I had an answer to one thing: How the heck do I multihome? I have v6 space from Sprint to play with, but I'm reluctant to use it because I can't multihome with it. The end user doesn't care about 4 vs. 6, or anything we discuss here, all they care is that it *works*. It's all a magic box to them anyway. Businesses care that we can guarantee that it works. I want the same reliability with v6 that I have right now with v4, and single homed v6 isn't going to cut it, nor is some host-based hack, or every host gets a v6 address from each v6 provider, or stupid DNS tricks. Am I crazy to want routers to make the routing decisions? ~Seth

In the arin region you can qualify for a pi allocation of ipv6 under the same criterion you qualify for one under ipv4. fill out: http://www.arin.net/registration/templates/v6-end-user.txt
