One easy way to make IPv6 "Routable" is to adopt a 32+[24x2]{LOC}+48{ID} Address Plan
It is very much like a child's merry-go-round with a Funnel in the Center where packets enter. They are first routed using legacy 32 bits with a 160-bit Routing Header. They leave "the core", the center, and move towards the edge. The Routing Header is over-written with the 24-bit Destination(s) & the magic TTL bit They reach one of the 24-bit Primary or Secondary LOC providers. (BGP magnetic fields handle that) Finally, the 48-bit ID is used to deliver the data. 24-bit ASNs are plentiful FREE 48-bit ID space can be 3+4+1 using 6-bit Symbol set of 64: LLL.LLLL.L The 32-bit Legacy space continues and can be tuned up as needed =================================== 00 - UNIX 01 - ISOC, IETF, IRTF, IANA, ICANN, NANOG, RIRs... 10 - IEEE, ATSC, FCC, NTIA, NIST, LEOs... 11 - UN, ITU, ETSI... =================================== _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list rrg@irtf.org http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
