   - Single provider or enterprise allocated a /32
   - Multiple independent global locations eg. PNG, India, New Zealand, US
   - Each site advertising out a /36
   - Requirement for each site is too large for a /48 allocation.
   - Advert of a covering may have some very undesirable results


   - Most networks it will work today will they'll accept the routes in the
   above approach.
   - The approach has some parallels IPv4. People are going to do this and
   take v4 practice and apply to v6 if within general community guidelines -
   and why not, why re-invent the wheel?
   - Networks likes yours be they teir2/3/4 that don't accept a full table
   in the v4 world would have a covering route with ACLs potentially used for
   bogons. Why not for v6?
   - What's your suggestion as to BCP for the scenario?
