For all other
cases it introduces a bias that has no science about it.
In otherwords it introduces bias in 99.99999% of cases.
It helps in 0.00001% of cases (and this is a generous estimate).
In IPv4 that may be so. In the IPv6 model, which is still PA-based
and multiprefix, it's far from true.
I'm not sure that the reality of IPv6 prefix distribution is that it is
PA-based. A quick look at the statistics published by AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN
and LACNIC (RIPE doesn't have a PIv6 policy yet) shows that about 1000
prefixes are /32 or shorter while about 275 are /40 or longer.
Of course, the IPv6 PI policies are all quite new and it could be there
there is very limited demand for IPv6 PI space with most people preferring
multiple PA prefixes but I doubt that's the case.
