What I really don't understand is why people are getting so negatively upset about /20s - what do you *want*? 1 billion /32s in the global routing table, making "efficient" and "conservative" use of FP 001 ?
Agreed. "Call me when we hit 1000 routes". Noone will be happier than me....
We are almost half way here, checking GRH which should give somewhat of a globally correct presentation, though there is not much input out of the APNIC corner, http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/status/ has: 458 good prefixes 17115 BGP AS-PATH entries 325 BGP community entries Minimum of 1 prefixes Average of 490 prefixes Maximum of 543 prefixes Good prefixes are the TLA's that actually get announced. There are thus also ~40 more specifics. And there are currently 739 allocations from RIR's to LIR's. If the people in the US would wake up they can add 50 visible routes. Having a 1000 IPv6 routes, educated guess, taking into account the number of new allocations made each year and that maybe 90% will also announce them with ~250 allocations in 2003 and 85 allocations already this first 5 months, which is on the low scale: estimation: 2,5+ years? But we do have to take in account that per 6/6/2006 6bone* is going away, which are currently 107 of the announced 'good prefixes', thus make it at least 3 years in total... Greets, Jeroen * According to the RFC, according to IANA it's 6/6/2004 ;) See http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-tla-assignments
