Moreover, if you are not multihomned, you can be aggregated. If you became
multihome - yes, you take a slot; how many entities in the world should be
multihomed?

I would contend that is not true.  What says that every device inside a
company, family, enterprise etc has to be available and reachable by
anyone on the planet in a bidirectional fashion as far as session
initiation is concerned?

Once you add that bit of reality to it, the scaling requirement goes
down substantially.  Wouldn't you agree?

Trust me, I would like to just see us get it over with as far as IPv6 is
concerned, provided we have a working, palatable IPv6 mh solution.  But,
man, I can't pass the red face test on a lot of these hypothesis.... :(

Thanks,
