> MIT recently sold off half of its class A to Amazon:
And garbage like this is why I cannot wait for the IPv6-only future, CIDR let us stall IPv4 address exhaustion but it has caused severe bloating in routing tables. Considering an IPv6 route at the internet level is capped at 64-bits (the max length of a proper network prefix, you can technically do smaller ones but WHY, and nobody will take your BGP advertisement for it either) I expect even with a 2X increase in size occupied by each individual route the size of a full BGP table is going to be dramatically smaller.
