And to show the complete nonsense of the /48 rule: This will either even exclude companies like AOL or T-Online from IPv6 if they do not intend to assign /48's to their *residential* customers, or will force them to do so, which sooner or later again means: New prefix, full table, game over.
This argument doesn't hold. Look at Telia - they got a /20. That's enough address space for at least 5 million /48s. Nothing precludes AOL or T-Online from applying for a /18, or even more, based on their customer numbers. (Also, if "every ISP that is able to fill a /20" will insert a 2nd or 3rd prefix into the global table, it definitely won't kill any router) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 60210 (58081) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299
