Re: filtering /48 is going to be necessary

and anyway, the average visit to facebook is still more data than the entire ipv6 route table at the moment.

we might also want to speed up bgp handling by routers a bit in the future, as some are DAMN SLOW in processing a few hundred thousand sets of data... (no people, it's NOT acceptable when a 200k box takes more than a few milliseconds to process whats basically just a few megabytes of data coming in over 10ge pipes and put it into a route table in ram ;)

time to put all those suppliers a pepper in their **** and simply stop buying their stuff if they keep selling obsolete junk.

end-to-end PI is the way to go.

Point is that expecting people globally to take a /48 from PA space probably isn't a realistic expectation.

Exactly....
What's more realistic is you have to get a single /48 of PI space for
people to carry that globally.

And if you have 5 discontiguous networks, what the RIRs should do is
carve a /44 out for your
present and future PI allocations   and issue you    the  8  /48s;
the PI /48 routing slots
that you have justified need for --  arranged so that they fall within
the same /45.
