In Section 6: It is suggested to IANA to temporarily avoid allocating any other address block the same /12 prefix the EID /16 prefix belongs to. This is to accommodate future requests of EID space without fragmenting the EID addressing space. Shouldn't that be under IANA

Hi, So there will be a pool of addresses that the RIR's can allocate out of for EIDs? If that's the case, what is the additional value to an ISP who would conceivably have to pay the RIR for another block of V6 addresses specifically for use as EIDs, when most likely they are already

Hi, How are you going to allocate space to ISPs? This is PI space. The registries will take portions of this space to allocate to end devices. Are you thinking about the existing RIRs here? If so: it might be a good idea to notify them that this is coming. This draft is purely a draft

Hi, One thing we have to be very careful with here is that EIDs are not directly allocated/assigned to end sites from this block. That will cause everyone to independently find (different) PITRs for their space, which will make a mess of the global IPv6 routing table... Thanks, Sander

Hi Dino, Nothing is coming. Nothing really needs to change. But if there is anything written up to define allocation procedures, the RIRs can review such a document. The main motivation for this prefix is to optimize ITRs so they know that a destination is in a LISP site. This COULD

Hi, And you do not want to tie addresses to topological entities. Or you will lose the mobility capabilities that Locator/ID separation can bring. Well, it is a business model. I am providing exactly such a service to a few test users now. I now hand out EID space from my PA block. If

Hi, The main motivation for this prefix is to optimize ITRs so they know that a destination is in a LISP site. This COULD eliminate a mapping database lookup for a destination not in this range. Meaning, if a packet is destined to a non-EID, you may know this by inspecting the address

Dino, to come back on topic. I understand the drafts purpose is to request a block of IPv6 address be delegated for this specific purpose, from IANA. The request is to the IAB. So, its a request for architectural aspects of addressing, facing an experiment. a /12 is a very large amount of

Whatever else is going on, LISP EIDs do not have geographic significance. They do not have IP Routing topological significance. The are not aggregateable. They are intended to beused by a site as a single prefix. Hence, the desired behavior (within the /16) is exactly the same as that

Hi, But I think it comes down to COULD ignore that certain EIDs are in the mapping system and always route them legacy-style No, I don't think so. You just avoided doing LISP to the destination site that wants multi-homing. That's what I said (or at least meant :) ) I wouldn't agree

Joel, I think that George raised a very valid concern and he explained very well the RIR machinery to perform address allocation. Saying that it is just PI simple does not help. As an example of our concerns (or at least mine), the policy to allocate PI in lacnic is:
