You have ignored the probability of disaggregation due to IP trading markets, especially given the wild-west nature of the APNIC transfer policy. Many of the legacy blocks will get dramatically disaggregated in the likely market which could take the DFZ well beyond 500k routes. It will be very

Hi. We had an interesting discussion the other day at work. We were speculating on how many DFZ IPv4 routes there would be at peak in the future before it starts to decline again due to less IPv4 usage. The current number is around 350k, and my personal estimation is that it would grow by at
