gert, i am too busy to find the quote for you right now, but the essence is that EVERY size limit that has EVER been done in computing has proved to be to small in the long run. It has also been proven that EVERY memory size problem has been solved so far. by changing the addressing. and that is exactly where we got into trouble last time. and our grandchildren will have the same problem again. So what do *you* propose to do now?
go back to paying work. if we need to give away large blocks to get folk to even ask for something that they don't seem to actually use anyway, then i think ipv6 has other issues that are a lot more pressing.
(On the math thing: you conveniently ignored my argument that we'll run into other limits *far* earlier than into the depletion of /32s - and unless *those* are solved, address depletion by handing out routable /32s really is a non-issue)
in ipv4, we have fixed routing many times. this is why the ivtf politicians allowed v6 to be decided independent of routing. they really believe these other issues can be fixed as we go along. as we're not really going along, we really don't know how true this is. randy
