IPv6 things have been too conservative oh, you have run out of space?
I haven't, but people tell me that I'm supposed to build hierarchy into my network, give every customer an insanely large address block *and* do all this out of a /32. Which will work for smallish ISPs like us, for the foreseeable future - but the question remains: what is gained by handing out /32s? A chance to reach 2^29 routing table entries (which would be the result if all of FP001 is handed out as /32s)?
Being too conservative on address block size which *will* lead to additional routing table entries.
Note that I'm not advocating to give each ISP a /12 or even a /16 - but something better balanced (a /24, for example) would be, umm, "better balanced".
perhaps allocation should be needs-based as opposed to these fixed blocks? both at the rir and the lir levels. after all, why are we paying for all those hostmasters if not to help make some intelligent decisions? randy
