The more time we are given, the more time it will take, that’s how we have done it in the past, and I don’t see the laziness go if not forced to. Warnings were ignored, we (v6 advocates) were laughed at, "again it will end", " you’ve told us that many years". Even if we only hand out a /28, we still have the basic problem, and it won't go away v4 WILL run out. Don’t make the suffering any longer.


I'm a co-author of the proposal... and I agree with you, in as much that postponing efforts to deploy v6 is rewarding the wrong thing.

But I don't recall that being the goal of the original last /8 proposal at all.

Our observations are:
- in order for new entrants to deploy v6 at all, they currently need a little bit of v4
- this fact is probably not going to change between now and the currently-expected runout of the last /8

So, just like the original last /8 proposal, I believe that this is a pro-v6 proposal. All that's changed between the original last /8 proposal and now is that we now have a picture of the run-rate of the last /8.

So this proposal is to give more new entrants the chance to join the v6 internet - with the bit of v4 they need to do that - instead of allowing the rest of us to externalise the cost of v4 runout even further.

Best regards,
Anna
