Re: Important IPv6 Policy Issue -- Your Input Requested

To the end user of address space it is absolutely irrelevant how large
the total space is or what the size of the routing table is.  What
matters is how much cost/effort you need to expend to get your address
space, and what you need to use it for.  A guarantee of global
uniqueness has an unavoidable (and, in fact, quite significant) cost;
some uses of address space don't require global uniqueness; therefore
there will be a market demand for non-unique space.  

then let them make up addresses.  oh, you mean they don't want
to collide with global addresses?  so they want nat?  i though
a major goal of v6 was no nat.

again, you want you cake or want to eat it?
