Anyone know roughly the current default-free routing table size for

Awesome web-site. The world of IPv6 routing on one page.


3668 good/required prefixes
Minimum of 271 prefixes (-3397)
Average of 5322 prefixes (+1654)

Is this saying that poor aggregation has crept in already (to the tune of 
45%)?

Given the RIR IPv6 allocation strategies, any estimate on the ultimate 
size of the DFR IPv6 table and how much memory will be required?

Or, who holds the record for the largest IPv6 routing table at this 
point?

Having more routes does not mean that the routes are useful... far from
actually...

Right. But isn't that dependent on peer's good aggregation and suppression 
of bogons?
