Paul,

New allocations are (as of 1466bis) being done through providers, on CIDRized
lines.  Whether IPv4 or IPv6, new allocations are not going to badly impact
the core routing table size.

Does that mean that all the internet registries no longer allocate
/24 (or longer) prefixes that have nothing to do with the actual
Internet topology (these prefixes aka "portable addresses") ?  Perhaps
folks from various Internet registries would be able to answer this
question.

I assign /22s to ISPs.  When they use them up I give them another /22.
Private companies that show a need for a /24 are assigned a /24.

Yakov.
