My guess is that you are using this feature more than most IPv6
installations. But anyway, it's not 20 or even a dozen prefixes.
Is it reasonable for us to assume that, for most links, the number
of advertised prefixes will never exceed 10? 7?
I never meant to make the assumption that a links would see only
a single advertised prefix. I had thought that most installations
were not using the feature very heavily, and that 1 or 2 would be the
typical number of prefixes advertised. Now you point out that there
are some with up to 5. This is good to know. I wonder if we can
get to the point of agreeing on a maximum for all future applications,
so that we can agree to avoid designing for problems of scalability
that won't exist over the lifetime of IPv6.
Regards,
Charlie P.
PS. Please let me know what I can do to clarify any parsing issues
in the above or any previous notes. I am not trying to be
writing mysteries or puzzles.
