Re: minimum IPv6 announcement size

In ipv4 there are 482319 routes and 45235 ASNs in the DFZ this week, of that
18619 ~40% announce only one prefix. given the distribution of prefix counts
across ASNs it's quite reasonable  to conclude that the consumption of
routing table slots is not primarly a property of the number of participants
but rather in the hands of a smaller number of large participants many of
whom are in this room.

Which, compounds the idea that routing slots are going to be more of an issue than allocation size.
