[LACNIC/Politicas] [ppml] PI addressing in IPv6 advances in ARIN

Fri Apr 14 09:39:54 BRT 2006

Hola a todos,

Por clarificar y en castellano ...

En ARIN se adopta el espacio portable para IPv6 (provider independent, PI).

Creo que esto no es bueno para las tablas de routing, pero parece ser que al
no disponer de esta alternativa se esta frenando el despliegue de IPv6.

Mi punto de vista es que no debe de haber una desventaja entre diferentes
regiones a este respecto, y por ello, voy a proponer una politica global,
que tengo ya redactada desde ayer y he circulado con los diversos RIRs para
conocer su impresion.

Mi idea original era enviarla a RIPE el lunes, pero dado que es fiesta y no
espero recibir comentarios y ademas se esta produciendo una larga lista de
conversaciones en este sentido en diversas listas de correo, voy a enviar mi
propuesta esta tarde a una unica lista, global-ipv6 at lists.apnic.net, que se
diseño para discusiones de politicas globales de IPv6, y seguir la discusion
solo alli.

Todos los interesados, por favor que se suscriban.

Con el resultado de las discusiones en los proximos 2-3 dias, editare mi
propuesta original y la enviare a todas las regiones, intentando mantener
una propuesta unificada, si esto es posible.

Saludos,
Jordi
