BTW - I have not studied the RFC's - so what will IPv6 do for us in the contect of routeing aggregation and latger boxes etc ? Absolutely Nothing. You end up back at hierarchical routing. IPv6 gets you a bigger address space, so it actually hurts in that it takes more memory to store a prefix. Tonythe plan is that IPv6 addresses will be allocated hierarchically from day 1, and with proxy aggregation it should be possible for sean's stated goal of "4 routes in the table on some defaultless networks" to be reached. the routing table is no longer doubling every nine months. we've been sort of hanging out in the 25,000 - 30,000 range for almost six months now. the largest single component of the table size comes from old allocations of class c nets, which are 2/3 the total.
Why can' the NIC reallocat the old class c's and use CIDR? Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
