[arin-ppml] New Policy Proposal

[Michael Richardson]

Guys, the TPIA's biggest problem is that it specifies a layer-3
solution,  but does not mandate any support for IPv6.

IPv4 deployment would be easy via 4rd or some other v4-over-v6 solution
if the TPIA said something about IPv6.

It doesn't.

As a Canadian, I would ask ARIN to tell the parties involved:
   IPv4 is done. Go deploy IPv6.
   the CRTC was told about the TPIA problem with IPv6 several
   years ago, in an IPv6 task force they participated in.

Yes.  Nice way to jam the market.
I'm aware of ISPs that do not serve all nodes.

    William> What about the layer 2 tunnelling described in John's

    William> tunnelling 

I'm unaware of any cable system that supports this method.
