| An unadministered PI scheme that generated unique prefixes would satisfy the | first 2 requirements. However, allowing such addresses to be globally | routeable has two drawbacks: | - affects global routing tables, possibly badly | - raises 'approximately unique' requirement to 'unique'

<stupid-question>
The global-routing-table-size argument crops up often. Could someone
produce a link to a document which explains exactly what the problem
is (I know what the problem is believed to be) and why it is considered
a biggie.<stupid-question>

<shocking-ingorance>
I have heard figures to the effect that current usage of v4 PI
translated into v6 PI would require on the order of 1G memory in
bgp routers. I just can't figure out why 1G memory is considered
a lot in this game - my graphics card will probably have next to
that much in a couple of years and I haven't bought a pc with
less memory for a couple of years now...
