Though the exact calculation depends on how the administrators of the network distribute this address space across their company. But without that consideration: 2^(128-32-48) = 2^48 = 281474976710656 281.474.976.710.656, let's see how one can pronounce that. 281.474.976 milion 281 billiongazzilion or something? At least anyone can deposit it in eurocents or even centavos on my bankaccount and I will be quite a happy chap for the rest of my live and won't bugger anybody again *ever* :) In other words it should be adequate for most very large ISP's :) And enough for your worst wet bedtime dreams. Also that's the reason why we won't want to see single /48's in the DFZ. > > Maybe you could take a look at http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/lg/ > > which, thanks to Gert Doering contains BGP data back to 25 Aug 2001. > > The routing tables are getting cleaner by the day.

Can you explain why you think in such a way? Actually I think you might be interrested in some good docs IPv6: http://isoc.nl/activ/cursusmateriaal/2002-Masterclass-IETF-IPv6.ppt http://isoc.nl/activ/cursusmateriaal/2002-Masterclass-IETF-IPv6.sxi First one is Steve Deerings presentation in Powerpoint, second one in Open Office format.
