All I hear is how this company or that enterprise "should qualify" for PI space. What I don't hear is what's going to happen when the routing tables grow too large, or how to prevent this. I think just about anyone "should qualify", but ONLY if there is some form of aggregation possible. PI in IPv6 without aggregation would be a bigger mistake than all other IPv6 mistakes so far.
The entire Internet routing table doesn't have to be centralized in the core and it doesn't even have to be done by what are now called routers. While most will instantly pronounce it as unworkable without even trying, source routing or routing at another layer is an alternative way at dealing with this problem. Excuse me while I quote out of order, you say:
While IPv6 is still IP, it's not just IPv4 with bigger addresses. We have 128 bits, so we should make good use of them. One way to do this
Should IPv6 routing just be IPv4 routing with bigger addresses? John
