[ppml] Policy Proposal 2005-8: Proposal to amend ARIN IPv6 assignment and utilisation requirement - Last C

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Andrew,

I can only talk from a very high level. We are working in Europe (I'm sure
is work done everywhere) in multitude of projects regarding what we call AmI
(Ambient Intelligence). Basically is about thousands of sensors, actuators
and devices, tied to different kind of services and applications.

For security reasons, you want to isolate in different subnets different
kinds of services, or even a single device being attached to different
subnets with several addresses each one.

As said, I see the point that 65.000 subnets may still seem too much, but
for me 256 is too short. It may be the case, and I really think so, that you
will get even in the same link, different prefixes (may be /56) from
different service providers.

But I still think we need to make sure that the wording of the policy
ensures that users aren't trap again in a situation where they need to
justify for requesting more subnets (which constitutes a privacy and even
security breach) and don't need to pay for that an extra amount which makes
them to look again for NAT-like solutions.

Regards,
Jordi
