Apparently, my point was not very reader friendly, so I'll try again: Routing-wise, someone with 64 billion billion billion addresses, have about 16 billion billion ways to route the entire IPv4 internet, within the address space constraints of a /32 allocation.
In theory, yes. But the policy currently contradicts itself to an extent. Section 3.8 of ripe-641 clearly states: "In IPv6 address policy, the goal of aggregation is considered to be the most important." ss3.4 and 3.5 bear that out also. Yet, s5.1.2 seems to exclude aggregation as a valid reason for an allocation. The Proposal merely attempts to remove this contradiction. rgds, Sascha Luck
