[arin-ppml] Automatic IPv6 Eligibility

Tue Aug 11 23:02:34 EDT 2015

David,
Thank very much for taking the time to respond and with so much detail. It is very helpful information.

I noticed I had a typo on our current allocation, /22 is what we have not /21. 

Regardless, I understand what you're saying as to engineer it properly so that as ipv6 adoption and services increase I'm not stuck with an inferior design or a broken network. 100% agree. 

Now we're talking about a $1500 increase in annual fees, which is not ideal but provides access to over 65k /48,,, I can see this being a better long term solution compared to ipv4 space being leased from someone else long term.

Now to start evaluating our infrastructure and the new acquisition for ipv6 capabilities and upgrade path, just when I thought I had enough work to do!

Thanks again for your time and advice! 

Best Regards, 
Josh Rowe
