oh really? people are going to start carrying /48s in a world where
they don't even carry anything more than a /24 for ipv4?
admins who filter >= /24 and don't set a default to upsteam [1],
generally get what they deserve - since they are blackholing potential
customers.
If their employer is so cash strapped they can't afford the ASIC space
for a full table, then presumably their market share & b/w usage are
such that they can hold the table in software instead. (dumb north
american routing policies excepted)
