Someone else with a more thorough understanding of the IPv6 address allocation procedure can explain why there will never be a ham-radio-only block of IPv6 addresses akin to the IPv4 AMPRNet 44/8.
When we just want some IP space on internet it is much easier to have everyone use the IPv6 netblock they get from their local ISP, and compile some list of netblocks that are assigned to hamradio that way. So everyone just connects their stuff to internet, and where required imports some list of netblocks that they want to talk to.
Agree totally. That way, I could dedicate an entire /64 to ham radio applications from my allocation. As you say, we just need a means of advertising the ham netblocks and automatically configuring filtering. It should work a lot better than the current 44net does, since we're simply using normal ISP routing.
