Sure there is--globally unique IPs.
I assume you're referring to IPv6? I was referring to IPv4.
It applies to both, though we've run out of IPv4. There's no other way
to guarantee the absence of network collisions.
A properly generated IPv6 ULA (Unique Local Address) prefix is unlikely
to have collisions.
I thought that was exactly what he was saying.
No, the ULA is the IPv6 equivalent of RFC1918 space--you can use it
internally without central registration by choosing a subnet from
fd00::/8. The space is so much larger that it's much less likely that
two sites would pick the same prefix, but there are no guarantees.
