How does that work?
If a customer is multihomed then by definition their route is going to be not able to be aggregated. Irrespective of the external view, within a country the route will need to be visible to all at the IXPs within that country otherwise it defeats the
purporse of multi homing. Bigger blocks doesn't solve this fundemental. If a customer is single homed then their space can be aggregated anyway irrespective of the block size.
Then we get to the whole issue of deliberate deaggregation for traffic engineering. (eg. http://thyme.rand.apnic.net/current/data-ASnet-APNIC - if companies _actually_ cared about the
route polution through deaggregation then this report wouldn't show such sad data.
Bigger pools or country specific pools aren't going to change any of these fundementals. If the desire is for larger blocks then let's focus on fixing that for everyone in the APNIC IPv6 allocation policy rather than focusing on selfish needs within
our own countries.
