What's the problem with independent address space for every entity (company, family, enterprise) which wants it? Big routing tables? Is RT of 1,000,000 routes BIG? I do not think so. Memory is cheap, modern routing schemas like CEF are effective. How many entities do we have on earth? It was a problem, but it IS NOT ANYMORE.
One of the problems that is frequently overlooked here is that while the size of the DFZ is more or less bounded (although not as meaningfully so for IPv6 as it is for IPv4), the dynamic nature of the routing table is not bounded. Add to this that the less aggregation you have, the more the DFZ is exposed to those dynamics. The point here being that the memory requirements of the DFZ table is just one of the dimensions that must be considered if we intend the network to scale. Dave
