Re: towards phasing out the 6bone

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <jordi.palet@consulintel.es>]

I know that always we can have someone that decide not to filter, but today
some are already filtering, so as many more decide to start filtering, more
unreliable will be to use a 6bone prefix, and no incentive for those few to
continue using it then. Is a kind of domino effect.

Furthermore, there is no reason today you can't switch already to a
production prefix, even in some RIRs at no cost if you are an IPv4
"customer" already.

Regards,
Jordi
