That easily could be the case. So how well is has the current model been working out for IPv4? It appears that only feedback mechanism is the "The Cidr Report" <http://www.cidr-report.org/as2.0/#Gains>, and last time this topic came up was almost exactly two years ago back at 375000 routes... is this success? Perhaps more conference banners are needed? > of course, we can use the idea of a market in routing table slots, > rack space, or coffee to distract from the artificial problems in > the only actual market, ipv4 address space. No desire at all to distract from the discussions on that topic, and in fact, I'd encourage folks (including yourself) to pop on over to PPML and make suggestions for policy changes as desired. That's not an option available to me, and I was simply commenting on the fact that we're recreating the same IPv6 routing table feedback system which gave us our present "success" with the IPv4 routing table.
