I also support that proposal!
Reasons for me (my company): we have a small IPv4 PI space and want to
deploy IPv6. Of course it should also be PI and not PA [the same reasony
apply for v6 as for v4]. Our provider has several conections to the
Internet hubs, so our current v4 uplink _IS_ already redundant. The same
will be the case for IPv6.
To have our IPv6 space be explicitly multihomed, we have to
* apply for an AS for proper BGP announcement
* change fom cheap Internet uplink to expensive transit
That will
* unnecessarily burn away the last of the remaining 16 Bit AS
numbers with additional RIPE fees for us
* more than tripple the costs of our Internet connection (simple
uplink is cheap, transit is expensive)
but without gaining any benefit (that I can see).
regards,
Thomas
