But is that the point? I'm not arguing that we shouldn't be able to map EIDs as long as /128. I'm suggesting that these will be a small minority, and that the size of the map is likely to be in the 10^8 range at most, since
most of the entries will be sites (for some definition of "site", but
on average, significantly larger than a single household).


A fair point, but I would certainly be more comfortable knowing that the mapping subsystem was designed to deal with the worst case load rather than simply the expected load.

Something about half-inch gusset plates on bridges comes to mind...  ;-(
