On the other hand, when we can deprecate global routing of IPv4, we will see an earth shattering improvement as the current 10:1 prefix to provider ratio (300,000 prefixes for ~30,000 active ASNs) drops to something more like 2:1 in IPv6 due to providers not having to constantly run back to the RIR for additional slow-start allocations.

I suspect as we start seeing the CIDR report for IPv6, we'll see that ASNs are announcing considerably more prefixes than that, in order to localize traffic better. I don't think it'll be 300,000 prefixes, but I'd be willing to bet it'll be more than 100,000--not exactly "earth shattering improvement". Matt (hopeless deaggregator)
