Was looking at the ARIN IP6 policy and cannot find any reference to
those who have IP4 legacy space.
Isn't there an automatic allocation for those of us who have legacy IP
space.
Nope.
If not, is ARIN saying we have to pay them a fee to use IP6?
Yep.
Isn't this a disincentive for us to move up to IP6?
Yep. Just went through this with one organization which I hadn't realized
at the time was a legacy IPv4 holder. The fees were a surprise (I thought
they'd already been paying those fees). Needless to say, their IPv6 plans
are on hold indefinitely.
Those with legacy IP4 space should have the equivalent IP6 space under
the same terms. Or am I missing something?
But they're not exactly the same terms. ARIN 'terms' for the legacy
holder probably didn't exist at the time of their IPv4 allocation.
