First issue is that IPv6 interfaces support both the old & new prefixes at the same time, so the provider change case is not as dramatic as people fear based on past IPv4 experience. Second: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-v6ops-renumbering-procedure-0 1.txt talks about other issues that make renumbering non-trivial. Tony

So if RFC 2462 is right, and you use DNS outside your network and you update that DNS at the moment of switching providers, everything on your network automatically acquires new IPv6 globally routable addresses as soon as the gateway router is connected to the new provider. Seems to me that with a little bit of help from a "Change providers" tool, this would be virtually painless without the need to own or announce a small globally unique prefix. --Michael Dillon
