    Mv> Can you expand on that? What exactly was a step backward and how and why?   
      
   IPv6 was designed in a way, that you can multihome the PAv6 allocation you   
   get from your ISP, so there was no need for PIv6 really.   
      
   So, it was initially not implemented, to keep the routing table small. The   
   IPv4 routing table is a beast these days. With fragmentation and people   
   buying /24 blocks left right and center, a full IPv4 routing table is now   
   nearly 800k entries .. and that's with filtering routes
