Draft: PI addressing derived from AS numbers

[Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi>]

Hello,

I've sent a short draft (7 pages) to Internet-Drafts for publication.

I propose an automatic allocation of /48, /40 or /32 (based on how the 
community feels) of PI addresses if you have an AS number.

A 16-bit AS number in the range 1 - 2^15, that is.  This is just to enable
IPv6 multihoming temporarily, until another mechanism is devised, to those
end-sites that already do it today.  This is kind of a "stop those lame
excuses now, please" -solution.

Note: personally, I think ASN-PI like this is not a good idea, but it's at
least better than some others, like breaking aggregates or doing stuff
like that -- this is controlled, after a fashion.

Until publication, it's available at:

http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/ietf/draft-savola-multi6-asn-pi-00.txt

And the abstract is:

   In IPv6, the current IPv4 site multihoming practises have been
   operationally disabled, to prevent a creation of an unmanageable
   swamp of more specific routes.  Some argue that the lack of a
   comprehensive site multihoming solution is hindering the deployment
   of IPv6.  This memo presents a few proposals for end-sites with
   autonomous system (AS) number to be able to derive a provider
   independent block of addresses from the first half of the 16-bit AS-
   number space.  This could enable a temporary IPv6 site multihoming
   solution for those that already employ similar mechanisms in IPv4.
