If you are really too small, that is you have at most 10 sites, then you simply are too small. Who are you to decide who is too small to be allowed independence?
someone with routers which have to carry all those prefixes
You mean the very small tier 1 club? All others can default and don't _have_ to carry all those prefixes. Or do you mean the ISP community at large which tries to fulfil customer requirements and make money with that? The customer requirement is full technical and economical independence from their suppliers. And the ISPs (minus the Tier 1s) can default to their upstreams, they don't need to carry full tables - unless their customers do ask for that. It's all about fulfilling customer requirements. What's _your_ solution to this problem _now_ in IPv6? Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
