Looking at the number of autonomous systems in the IPv6 routing table =
and the total number of routes, it looks like it will shake out =
somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-5 prefixes/ASN. Since there are =
~35,000 unique ASNs in the IPv4 table, I figured simple multiplication =
provided as good an estimate as any at this early time.
