[arin-ppml] Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2015-1: Modification to Criteria for IPv6 Initial End-User Assignments

[Adam Thompson]

I'll point out that at my current employer, I cannot justify obtaining PI v6 space.  So I've deployed ULA + NPT in order to guarantee uniqueness.
I see IPv6 allocation making some of the same assumptions humans have made through time (e.g. "640k should be enough for anyone "), so I'm not sure I *should* be able to get PI space.

NAT, NAT66, NPT, etc. are ubiquitous enough that anyone designing "pathological" protocols that rely on embedded IP addresses (e.g. FTP, SIP, et al.) should probably be taken out behind the shed and put out of their misery.

Based on that, I disagree that ULA+NAT is harmful to the internet anymore.  That ship has already sailed.  (Irony: my phone autocorrected that to "failed".  How true.)

Nonetheless, I don't oppose this policy.

If we truly want to get rid of NAT and eliminate "unreasonable" renumbering costs , there can logically be no needs testing at all.  Renumbering even a 10-person office would be an unreasonable expense to me.

I don't feel strongly about this, but the individual points the policy considers *are* valid.

Here, have another bucket of popcorn...
