I don't think this is an issue for IPv6 in foreseeable future. As seen by our network (AS215467), fullview for IPv4 contains 972711/970267 routes and IPv6 only 206989/212113 (Poland/Sweden accordingly)

2025-03-28T08:33:22Z

Fun #BGP fact: some big carriers (at least Lumen and RETN) expect route/route6 IRR objects to match announced prefix exactly (same prefix length), longer matching principle isn't used even if you have proper ROA covering your entire allocation (IPv6 prefix with length of /40 for example) and with "Max Length" parameter set to /48.

Experienced it with one of our BGP customers.

Musk, self-proclaimed protector of freedom of expression, declared that he had acquired X to restore freedom of expression on the platform. What do you think? #asknostr

> paying to register a domain name is not the same as "buying" it outright or permanently. You do not "own" a domain name. What you are doing is more like leasing the domain name from the registry operator that the domain name is associated with.

Bunch of swaps at LightningNetwork+, few liquidity purchases at Magma from Amboss and a few channels to big LSPs made it not necessary to manage anything more frequently than once a month.
