[ppml] [address-policy-wg] Re: article about IPv6 vs firewalls vs NAT in arstechnica (seen on slashdot)

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

It is a matter of having the same organization that allocated IP addresses
doing allocation of IP addresses, despite the number of "possible
customers", instead of having a *new* organization doing so.

I really think it may become a political issue and breach for the RIRs
system and I don't feel very comfortable with that.

The allocation of the ULA-central addresses can be managed in a very
automated way, so not a big issue if really becomes a "big" number of them
(which I'm convinced will be the case, because only some big entities may
want to avoid using ULA local, but enough to avoid wasting global unicast
instead).

Regards,
Jordi
