[governance] Why Would Anyone Pay for Unique Address Block Leasing ?

[Jim Fleming]

Assuming you have a 64-bit address space:

01.01.DDDD.000.DDDDDDD.0.1.<<<<32 bits>>>>.0.000000.0.1.DDD

Why Would Anyone Pay for Unique Address Block Leasing ?

In order to obtain your FREE 32-bit address space prefix, all you have to do
is select a UNIque 8 letter domain name. The 8 letters include the DOT (.)
The 8 letters are selected from the following 16-symbol set.
.CDEIMNOPRTUV389

Note: Many .COM names can be constructed. The .COM is 4-letters.
0000 .
0001 C
0111 O
0101 M

0000.0001.0111.0101
You have 16 other bits to select by picking 4 letters.

Those unique 32-bits can then be inserted below:
01.01.DDDD.000.DDDDDDD.0.1.<<<<32 bits>>>>.0.000000.0.1.DDD

You then have your Unique ID and can pair it up with several million
prefixes.
For each pairing, you can support several thousand nodes. That does not
include
the 16-bit port numbers or the 32-bit transport addresses that are needed in
the transition to provide you routing (actually it is forwarding but called
routing).

If you think (or have been mislead) that paying for unique blocks of address
space
provide you routing, you may want to check again. Also, if you think that
paying
for address space provides you with the benefit that your unique space is
documented
in WHOIS and DNS you may want to consider whether that is really a benefit
worth thousands of dollars per year. For a $6 per year .COM or .NET name you
can have a unique 32-bit prefix and know you will be unique and not collide.
That
is the main goal and should not cost thousands of dollars per year or
require one to
fly around in meat-space attending meetings to grovel and beg for space.
