Actually, it's not such an enormous large amount, taking into consideration that 64 bits are out of scope. You are left with 16 bits (65K networks/end sites). And let's not forget that the recommendation is to give a customer at least a /56. > > With a corporate hat on, I think it highly unlikely that anyone > > manager or sales person will be content with less than the absolute > > maximum they can get even if they don't need it.

It is up to the company managing the address space to make sure that they have a contract in place to keep it's sub-allocated space under control. > > I think it's somewhat sensible that a LIR should have access to a /32. :) And the current policy allows even up to a /29 with no questions asked :-) cheers, elvis
