Sure, here are some reasons; creation of swamp space, routing table bloat, lack of demand (@ the NBO meeting, only one person suggested they would like PI IIRC, and even that one suggested he had no immediate plan for immediate implementation), breaking of aggregation (IETF v6 design focus was more on aggregation than conservation) Finally, I am convinced that there are large numbers of ISPs in Africa who have not yet become LIRs. For them, getting some v6 PI space may be much cheaper than becoming a LIR, in which case, annual revenue for the NIC wouldn't grow as fast as it has for other RIRs. I'll be in NBO from the 16th to the 24th, perhaps we can get a few folk together to discuss it over a frosty malt beverage? ;-) -- Cheers, McTim $ whois -h whois.afrinic.net mctim _______________________________________________ rpd mailing list [email protected] https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/rpd
