(And no, we don't have 37000 ASNs with 1.4 ipv6 prefixes each yet - if we had, I would start celebrating, and then go on turning off IPv4)
eh, sorry. I worded what I said rather badly. I meant that at the time I looked, there were 37,000 ASNs active on the internet. Separate to that, there had been a ratio of 1.4 ipv6 prefixes originated by each ASN that originated an ipv6 prefix, and that this ratio had been relatively consistent over the previous couple of years. Hope this clarifies.
Definitely not 37000*1.4 = 51000 ipv6 prefixes.
my point was to give an estimate of the number of possible 6rd users, compared to the number of /29s available. it is obviously far less than the total number of ASNs in use. cheers, Ole
