In the spirit of domains as a public good, mentioned in the article, couldn’t some organization procure a block of IPv6 IPs to distribute them and handle those hoops for everyone?
- zokier 1y agoSome organization like RIPE or ARIN? Both which are non-profits and whose main activity is to distribute IP (and AS) numbers
- al_borland 1y agoI briefly looked at ARIN’s requirements before posting. I can’t just go request a single address, as I don’t think I meet any of these conditions. - Have an IPv4 assignment from ARIN or one of its predecessors - Intend to immediately be IPv6 multi-homed - Have 13 end sites (offices, data centers, etc.) within one year - Use 2,000 IPv6 addresses within one year - Use 200 /64 subnets within one year That’s what I was thinking an intermediary would be needed, unless they change their policies.
- exiguus 1y agoYou need very different hard- and software for that. How to become your own ISP[1] is a nice talk about that. [1] https://media.ccc.de/v/2025-170-how-to-become-your-own-isp https://media.ccc.de/v/2025-170-how-to-become-your-own-isp
