I was refering above to companies that would be fine with a /48 or even a /40 or similar. In the end though, it does not matter if they have a /32 or a /40 or a /48; all those will use 1 routing slot. The only case it will use more is when they de-aggregate... > see HP as an example of this (from my memory of their reasoning) HP and other similar companies likely need more than a /32 if they do proper hierarchical routing between their sites... Hence why quite a few companies have requested multiple prefixes from multiple RIRs...
