Most organizations will still be assigned a /48 (or whatever) from their ISP. Provider-aggregable addressing has no routing scalability problems. > I can see between IPv4 and IPv6 is how much of a pain it is to type a 128 > bit address... I have to agree, here. Moving between letters and numbers, and having to hit "shift" to use the colon wastes valuable keystrokes compared to the keypad. However, compare IPv6 vs IPv4-like numbering: 2001:db8:f1::1 81.93.35.12.241.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1 Did I type the right number of zeroes? Lee
