Hi,<br>
<br>
[...]<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
</div>why do you expect a "sudden spike"? You know, IPv6 adoption is painfully slow.<br>
And actually, that's one of the points why some (most?) support the proposal, to speed that up!<br>

So, i'm a little confused now why this is bad.<br>
<br>
I don't know if this few (yes, it's "few" for me) more IPv6 prefixes will cause any problems at all,<br>
or if bugs are trigged, no one knows. We'll have to see, or someone might want to write a paper about it indeed :-)<br>
<br>
And why should THIS be a money issue? If you don't plan for 20k IPv6 prefixes when buying new border routers nowadays, what the hell are you doing?<br>
And what "border-router-grade" hardware doesn't support this few prefixes?<br>
<br>
I'm FAR more concerned about IPv4 table growth/deaggregation after exhaustion...<br></blockquote><div><br>We are concerned as well!
