please elaborate.  My knowledge of IPv6 is admittedly lacking, but I 
always assumed that the routing tables would be much larger if the 
internet were to convert from IPv4 due to the sheer number of networks 
available.

All 970 of them?

It's not 'law' per se, but having the customer originate their own
announcements is definitely the Right Way to go.

it is interesting, and worrysome, to consider this in light of likely
growth in the routing table (ref ipv4 free pool run out discussion) and
vendors' inability to handle large ribs and fibs on enterprise class
routers.
