I seem to be missing something here, because right now I cannot see a
direct relationship between the fact that a LIR is a "regular" LIR or
an aggregate LIR (multinational), or the size of the initial allocation
(/35 vs /32 or /28) when we talk *routing table size*. I think the
"load" comes from the *complexity*, all the rest is indeed a matter of a
few bits...

PS: and by the way, the current state of some "major" provider(s) here in
Europe seem to suggest that most of those discussions tend to become
mute pretty often these days ;-)
