The problem is that IPSc could (and regarding what I hear would) give out /48s to ther end users [if there is a chance they need more than one subnet]. In our case you would probably end up with ~30000 /48 assigned that way - and as a university we do not have that many DSL end-users. But what about the really big ISPs? At the moment the Ripe DB contains slightly over 1.000.000 Objects. if those ISPs register every /48 they assign, you end up with orders of magnitude more objects - and a consderable higher update-rate. The deeper reason is that the way IPv6 addresses are handed out and the Space is devided, you can have end-users occupying the same IP space as big companies. *If* we rethink the policy, aiming at the prefix-length is imho not the way to do that. lG uk -- Ulrich Kiermayr Zentraler Informatikdienst der Universitaet Wien Network - Security - ACOnet-CERT Universitaetsstrasse 7, 1010 Wien, AT eMail: ulrich.kiermayr at univie.ac.at Tel: (+43 1) 4277 / 14104 PGP Key-ID: 0xA8D764D8 Fax: (+43 1) 4277 / 9140
