We're having a general math breakdown today. First Jeroen wants to
fit
5 /48's in a /47 and now you want to fit 192 /48's in a /44.

48-44=4. 2^4=16.

Yep... I don't know why, but I was thinking /40.

So,

1 site = /48
2-12 sites = /44
13-192 sites = /40, and so on.

NRPM 6.5.8.2 for details.

/40 bumps you into the next price category, but it is a 1-time expense for endusers.
