I'm old but maybe not old nuff to know if this was discussed before or not, but I've been asking people last few months why we don't just do something like this. don't even need to get rid of BGP, just add some extension, we see ok to add extensions to BGP to do other things, this makes at least if not more sence. -jim On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 11:13 PM, George Bonser <gbonser () seven com> wrote:

And also, if the IPv4 space is horse-traded among RIRs and customers as you allude to above, IPv6 will look even more attactive as the price andpreciousnessof IPv4 addresses increases.No problem, everyone tunnels v4 in v4 and the "outer" ip address is your 32-bit ASN and you get an entire /0 of "legacy" ip space inside your ASN. Just need to get rid of BGP and go to some sort of label switching with the border routers having an ASN to upstream label table and there ya go. Oh, and probably create an AA RR in DNS that is in ASN:x.x.x.x format. Increase the MTU a little and whammo! There ya go! Done. :)
