Some designs for the "carrier NATs" that are supposed to tide us over from from v4 depletion through v6 deployment would seem to be an open door for this scenario.
Part 3 will be when that same provider (or some other provider in the same boat) takes the next step and starts trading routes of ULA space with other provider(s).Is this happening now with RFC 1918 addresses and IPv4?
No. There's too much complexity associated with multiple ISPs negotiating private routing policies while VPNs work very well without needing special services from the ISP. Owen has this notion that there's a natural evolutionary path that will bring about some circumstance where two particular ISPs find it advantageous to swap ULA routes. That same driving force would presumably lead those ISPs to interact with a third and so on until the use of ULA addresses on the public Internet was a defacto standard. If there's a credible scenario where two ISPs and the folks paying them would find such a course of action preferable to the myriad other options for solving the given problem, I haven't heard it yet. If such a scenario exists, it's not obvious. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
