RE: [RRG] Consensus? End-user networks need their own portable address space

["Tony Li" <tony.li@tony.li>]

Hi Bill,

|The requirement is that end users (meaning folks who operate servers
|in this case) be able to  change service providers:
|
|1. Without a major overall effort, and
|2. Without requiring any changes outside of the end user's
|administrative control.
|
|In the past two decades, NO ONE has demonstrated a mechanism for
|meeting these two requirements that has proven out in practice EXCEPT
|for assigning PI addresses to the end user.


False.  Put the site behind a NAT box.

Changing providers now simply requires a trivial change to the NAT.
