I'd be more sympathetic to arguments like this if we RFC 4864 didn't insist on recommending the deployment of stateful packet filters in IPv6 that break most of the things NAT breaks in IPv4. It seems to me that you're making the assumption that the only scenario IPv6 will be

Firewalls don't get upgraded to support SCTP and DCCP because applications are all limping along with TCP and UDP. Egg: meet chicken. Sounds like a good area for standardization so that this state of affairs is not carried forward into IPv6. And especially, if there is a standard way for

This is the place for me to say that I believe the draft is wrong in delegating this as an RIR policy matter. Like existing ULAs, ULA-C should be treated as *technical* address space, and we should specify that assignments will be made and recorded by a single instance of a robot,

I see Thomas' argument for tolerating occasional use of entries in the global DNS for ULAs - but it seems that it leads to too many complications to be recommended. Since I'm sure the IETF isn't ready yet to endorse the reality of split DNS deployment, wouldn't it be best to say that

Scott, what feature of existing ULAs makes them unsuitable for this usage today? In the ridiculously unlikely event of a ULA prefix clash, this would be detected up-front when trying to set up the reverse delegation, and then you'd simply generate a different ULA prefix. As far as I know

I concur wholeheartedly on all points. If one wants a universally visable address use PI . With IPv6 if an organization cannot or refuses to get their own PI space they can get space from their provider. When they choose to change providers they are not renumbering, they are just re-prefixing..
