So now Verizon is in open revolt against ARIN. They positively refuse to carry /48's from legitimately multihomed users. Eff 'em. Perhaps Verizon would sooner see IPv6 go down in flames than see their TCAMs fill up again. Who knows their reasoning? Agree or disagree, it is indeed food for thought. One thing I can say with confidence: as a community we truly haven't grasped the major implications of an address space that isn't scarce coupled with a routing table that is.
Thing is, I'm an end user site. I need more that a /48, but probably less than a /32. Seeing as how we have an AS and PI, PA isn't going to cut it. What am I supposed to do? ARIN suggested creative subnetting. We pushed back and got a /41. If IPv6 doesn't scratch an itch, why bother? There are plenty of high-profile end user sites in 2620::/23. Some government (CIA), some popular (Facebook.) I don't think Verizon's stand is going to last. Tim:>
