Chris,

Actually I'm not. I haven't personally checked the numbers, but I'm
told that if every org that has one or more prefixes announced in IPv4
announces exactly one prefix into IPv6, the table would have in the
neighborhood of 50k-60k entries. More, deaggregation is hard to get
away with when almost everybody has exactly a /48 and nobody has less.
Not sayin' it won't happen, just that it won't be as common.

Will the IPv6 DFZ eventually grow past 100k entries? Sure. Soon? No.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
