[ipv6-wg] Free GUA space for community projects [CfP/RFC] (was: Minutes from the IPv6 WG @ RIPE 83)

3. use proper source based routing on the ISP routers -> see homenet WG.

a) homenet is not available on real products
b) if a particular resource is in the walled garden of one Carrier (access from other carriers are filtered), then source routing would not help, proper source address should be chosen first on the host. Only NPT resolves this situation now.
c) homenet did not try to resolve ND problems of proper withdrawal for stale prefixes. If uplink to one carrier would be lost - it does not discuss how it would be informed to the hosts on the first hop.

Hence, no - solution 3 does not exist.

Of course NAT is good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26BAlfWBm8) but not really needed here.
