Fortunately there are 'only' 65k ASN's, thus that would mean only 65k routes in the routing table, which should be quite practical. Seeing only ~650 routes now I don't see that happening that soon, especially with the slowness of deployment of IPv6 in the US, though it is catching on ;). Left to wonder though what happens when we run out of ASN's, 32bit ones? > I'm not saying this is clean, friendly, nice, whatever.

As those policies are decided upon by the membership, feed your input to ARIN/RIPE/APNIC/LACNIC... Greets, Jeroen Attachment:
