Dear colleagues,
we recently requested an IPv6 assingment on behalf of one Freifunk
Community in germany.
They wanted to be indipendent from us and to take routing decisions on
their own.
As they are a freifunk community some of the PI assigment would be used
to lease addresses to clients/users.
According to NCC the policy currently doesn't permit usage of PI space.
Small Hotspot providers and especially Freifunk communities typically
can not afford a LIR Membership to be independent. In my opinion the
current policy makes it hard to adopt IPv6 in such cases.
I'd like to propose a change of the policy to allow PI addresses to be
used for clients which don't belong the assigment-holder. This clients
are connecting to networks which use address space of the holders PI
assignment e.g. via wifi.
The difference between an assignment is that there is a single address
provided to walk in wifi users rather than a whole subnet delegated for
usage by the connecting client/user/customer.
How do you think about that situation?
What would be your thoughts on such a proposal?
Regards
Thomas Drewermann
Freifunk Rheinland e.V.
