I never claimed that Geoff Huston, whom I have never met, did not have a preference for market-based solutions, only that he did not view the danger of disaggregation as a reason to have needs requirements for transfers. Unless you are implying that his preference for market-based solutions has somehow overridden his BGP expertise, my point stands.<div class="im">

Honestly I see deaggregation looming regardless of this proposal. The reason I strongly believe needs should remain is to make sure all IPs go to someone who will actually use them, instead of hoarding.<br>
<br>If you go back and reread my proposal as an alternative to this, you'll see that I am not opposed to opening up and facilitating transfers, even to giving legacy holders free reign for selling their extra space, but I don't see any use for allowing the market to be completely cornered by players or IPs to be hoarded. They are still a very limited resource until an actual mass migration to IPv6 occurs, and we need to act accordingly.<br>
<br>Needs basis in all its forms is not to protect the routing table, it is to protect the availability to the largest amount of players.<br><br>-Blake <br></div></div>
