we also should have expanded the ASN to minimum 64 bits at the time it was expanded to 32 bit for exactly the same reason btw. there -are- some technical reasons why /64's would be practical as "end-site" stuff, and if we want to be able to make all those end site networks independant, we'd need 64 bit asn's to go along with that. but main thing: just get enough ram in your stuff, and stop imposing stupid limitations. (not my problem if your routers keep reloading the table or rebooting themselves because they're from 1993 ffs ;) you did buy a new iphone i bet.. why no modern routers.

Exactly.... What's more realistic is you have to get a single /48 of PI space for people to carry that globally.
And if you have 5 discontiguous networks, what the RIRs should do is carve a /44 out for your present and future PI allocations and issue you the 8 /48s; the PI /48 routing slots that you have justified need for -- arranged so that they fall within the same /45.
