Re: [sig-policy] IPv6 Policy Proposal - prop-030-v001
Dear Geoff,
Thank you for your proposal submitted. Please allow me to ask you one
point on behalf of JP community, that is "How many years should IPv6
lifetime be?".
There was a comment in JPNIC Open Policy Meeting in July this year, that
he doesn't think there is any problem because *your* forecast shows
IPv6 will live for 100-120 years, that would be enough lifetime (from
his view).
According to your forecast referred here, and presented in the URL
below, a total of 1/2 of the available IPv6 address space would still be
unused after 60 years from now, even in the worst (most consumed) case.

Furthermore he pointed out that Paul (Wilson: APNIC DG) had commented
IPv6 should be live for at least 50 years time, which has no
inconsistency with your forecast.

(page 8)
If I summarize his view, that would be "Current situation is within the
scope of original IPv6 distribution design because we will have IPv6 for
100-120 years. So what is the problem?".
How do you respond?
I appreciate your comments.
thanks and best regards,
Toshi
