filtering /48 is going to be necessary

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.
