Masataka OhtaI have yet to find an economical way to manage a business merger involving two large rfc1918 networks where end to end peering is required and which partially or fully overlap. Ignoring short-sighted financial management views, the best long term solution is globally unique IPv6 addressing wherever possible. Local islands of IPv4 gatewayed or NATted with local management continue to be possible.
In other words, once its merger time, IPv6 fixes nothing.Can one really incentivize an enterprise to standardize on IPv6 on the basis of it will make a future merger much more economical? And this is well before any such prospect usually exists.
Is there any activity that enterprises choose to engage in on that basis? Joe
