[arin-ppml] IPv6 Transition Policy (aka Soft Landing)

[Gary Giesen]

Chris,

I have a couple questions:

1) What sort of mechanism are you going to use to verify IPv6 deployment?
While I believe service providers can turn up v6 relatively quickly (if
they haven't already done so), getting their customers turned up is
another thing...

2) Would you consider a change to allocation policy that would permit
non-multihomers to receive PI space? (I know a lot of people are going to
hate this). The rationale for this is that enterprise will be the last to
move to v6, and that the fear of not being able to get portable addresses
without multihoming or some sort of NAT will keep them from adopting.
Other multihoming mechanisms (such as SHIM6) have failed (and I believe
rightly so). This further incentivizes single-homed businesses to move to
v6.
