As a starting point, let's take (approximations to) MarcoH's RIPE-47 statistics.
Number of inet[6]num objects: 10**6 Number of inet[6]num objects with IRT: 10**3 (not significant)
This simple counting approach is potentially VERY misleading, as it is not the sheer _number_ of individual entries which should be counted, but the _size_ of the address blocks covered in this hierarchy. On top of that, there's the possibiltiy to use the hierarchy to e.g. provide a "1st-line" contact for an individual address block AND a fallback or upstream for the encompassing block. Marco, would it be reasonably easy for you to extract this additional piece of statistics data? Wilfried.
