same applies to The Internet. 

Thanks for your comments|

Hi Paul, 

It was interesting reading about your problem, your take on matters, the 
experience and history with ARIN. Thank you for that. 

While I can appreciate ARIN's position from the perspective of 'how do they 
know', I can appreciate yours too. We're not talking about criminal courts and 
beyond reasonable doubts. Jon Postel's pre RIR legacy assignments are hand 
written in a notebook. If that's good enough documentation to establish legacy 
assignment then providing "reasonable" proof that an address was provided for 
legitimate use would make a lot of sense to me. However, and admittedly, it's 
not that simple. Mostly because we don't want it to be. To some extent, because 
it can't be. You are a victim of "progress". 

Warm regards, and good luck;

I need to make a slight correction. 
I am semi retired from our Internet company and my son runs the show. 
He is a triple major Engineer and is PE certifiable in each of the 3 areas. 
He says he has deployed IPv6 to subscribers. 
But Simple and Cheap NO. 
5 years and a complete forklift to all subscribers. 
The issues happens at the head end router. 
My son is an University educated Enginner. 
His under graduate work was in Network Engineering. 
He was offered a bypass of Master's Degree and go straight into PHD Network 
Engineering 
Graduated Summa Cum Laude, so he's not an Idiot 
Well maybe he is. He choose our WISP over the PHD. 
He says IPv6 does work for the last mile but on our redundant backhaul loops it 
has some shortcomings. 
And our multi-homing has some issues with IPv6. 

Thought I would make these corrections. 
Just an old, fat, grumpy guy and former Guru that has outlived his usefulness

Fair enough… In context, the challenge I presented was about getting an 
IPv4-only host with no changes to software to be able to engage 
in bidirectional communication with remote hosts that live in a 128 bit address 
space. Yes, you are correct the the way I abbreviated my 
expression of that particular challenge was not complete in itself without the 
additional context.

Yeah, but because of the way IPv4 has been implemented (protocols that embed 
addresses, expectations of dealing with rendezvous 
hosts, NAT traversal assumptions, etc.), it turns out that evenstateful 6/4 NAT 
is unnecessarily hard and unreliable at best.
