I agree. Our (Aruba) system uses VLAN pooling to balance usage across a
number of VLANs and we have one subnet per VLAN. The balancing is done by
MAC hash but isn't perfect. In an ideal world one big subnet would be the
most efficient way of doing it, from an address usage perspective. Small
subnets means a need for lots of VLANs to ensure that particular subnets
aren't statistically likely to fill. Currently we have 30 x /23 and it seems
to work ok.
