Looking at the number of autonomous systems in the IPv6 routing table and the 
total number of routes, it looks like it will shake out somewhere in the 
neighborhood of 3-5 prefixes/ASN. Since there are ~35,000 unique ASNs in the 
IPv4 table, I figured simple multiplication provided as good an estimate as any 
at this early time.
