Hi all,

In the last months, following the discussions in 6man and v6ops, regarding the prefix size for end-sites and subnets, I decided to work in a revision of RFC6177 with the previous co-authors. Lea accepted the challenge (thanks for that!), so we just posted a -bis for RFC6177:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-palet-v6ops-rfc6177-bis/

We will love comments, especially from those that have "heated the debate" and will like to heard if we are missing anything to make it clearer.

We believe that this document belongs to v6ops, so probably this is the best list to comment about.

An objective fact, unless we did the math's wrong, just to start:

   Math's show that even assuming 32 billion of humans (2^35), and

   assigning each of them 4 /48's, with a 50% routing efficiency, we can

   repeat that 2^10 times, so if average life span of each human is 100

   years, and we don't recover back the /48's, we will be able to use

   IPv6 addressing space for over 100.000 years.

Regards,

Jordi

    Abstract:

       The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) policies, have different

       views regarding the recommendation of the prefix to be assigned to

       end-sites.  However, all them allow up to a /48 without further

       justification and clearly state that the exact choice of how much

       address space should be assigned to end-sites is a decision of each

       operator.  In fact, the operational community has recently developed

       a document with also covers this topic "Best Current Operational

       Practice for Operators: IPv6 prefix assignment for end-users -

       persistent vs non-persistent, and what size to choose".

       This document reviews the architectural and operational

       considerations of end-site assignments, and reiterates that

       assignment policy and guidelines belong to the RIR community.  This

       revision is being made to emphasize that IPv6 protocol evolution

       requires an ever increasing availability of subnets at the end-site

       and so, policy should reflect that assignment of a single subnet is

       no longer appropriate unless the recipient explicitly agrees to the

       limitations implied by such an assignment.

       This document obsoletes RFC6177 (IPv6 Address Assignment to End

       Sites).

    

    Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission

    until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
