[ppml] Summary of IPv6 assignment proposals

[Scott Leibrand]

Howard,

As I've stated earlier, I support 2005-1 as my first choice.  I would also
support 2006-4 if 2005-1 doesn't achieve consensus.

I disagree with your characterization of 2005-8.  As I read it, 2005-8 is
orthogonal to PI proposals, and simply "is intended to make the default
assignment size a /56 in the vast number of cases where a /48 seems
profligate."  As such, I support 2005-8 *in addition to* (not instead of)
2005-1 or 2006-4.

> direct assignment, you can have a /48 (or larger, if needed).
>
> Proposal 2005-8 would say: if you're not an LIR, get your IPv6 from your
> LIR
> (and recommendations on what the LIR should assign).
>
> Proposal 2006-4 would say: if you're not an LIR, and you're multihomed,
> and
> have used 90% of a directly-assigned IPv4 /19, you can have a /48.  If
> you
> use 50% of your /64s or /48s, you can have then next bit.  If you need
