Yesterday at v6ops there was a clear statement of the problem: IPv6 calls for the new Internet architecture. We could start with basic requirements guiding us to what exactly to build. For example: - IP address locates a node enabling the Internet - IP address is not a private property - every system with a will (an individual or an entity) is entitled to a certain quota of permanent, provider independent IP addresses - the system is identified by its tax number - IP addresses are assigned for a life time of the system - when the system changes its tax number it returns current IP addresses and gets a new quota corresponding to the new tax number Next steps would be to figure out an independent mechanism for address management and a routing.
