Daniel, The point is that unless we are collectively foolish, IPv6 will not have a disaggregation problem - it starts out classless and provider-based, and dual homing will in the end be solved by dual prefixes. I really can't see why we would *need* prefix length based discrimination as we do for IPv4. Brian Daniel Karrenberg wrote:

Aggregation is governed by topology and allocation policy. Hierarchy helps aggregation. I do not see how equal prefix length helps aggregation. Please explain.
