(For example private > internets either on leased circuits or via VPN tunnels over > the public Internet.) while i agree with this, the cause it represents is hopeless. the IETF intelligensia has killed, at least for now and probably forever, any hope of globally unrouteable unique address space. if ARIN or the RIR community want to add this feature, it'll have to be done regionally and bottomly-uply. if we get an RPKI then perhaps routability could be a routing object attribute, or something like that. "unroutable PI" could be a huge relief to a lot of people. but right now, with no way to enforce it, the policy development process has to assume that all PI will be routed, and so, the policies disfavour PI. i called this "the tyranny of the DFZ" in one particularly-harshly-worded missive on the topic.
