Holy smoke! That's really major. This is the first I've heard of this (although it makes technical sense to try and avoid unaggregable allocations). I hadn't realized the registries were trying to guard against routing table bloat as well as address space exhaustion. I'm curious, when did this start, and how was it decided? Wow. Noel
