I imagine so, but the question is are they growing so fast with new ip6 allocations. As I understand there are about 3500 LIRs/members at RIPE. Given that each /23 is enough for 64 members and they have just received 16 of these, that would make it enough space for 1024 ISPs/LIRs/members. Since IANA assigns ip blocks based on RIR need for next year that makes it appear that RIPE is expecting that 1/3 of its LIRs would request and start using IP6 within next year. I personally question these expectations given current still slow growth of ip6.
A /32 is only enough for 65536 customers. There are people that have way much more users than that and that are actually planning to use their allocations. That's the scary part... - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQJyuYKarNKXTPFCVEQJmtwCfdz7oJQzgq1lA9UFgkTGW9/xPv0AAoJA7 zBl4t+XAVfqKUXdXwET97SmI =t2dB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
