Quite right, I was forgetting the new /28s. So make that /28s.
(If we moved away from test addresses to real TLAs, then it would be /16s.)

Yes, we spent two hours on this in Oslo - look for the minutes. But the
basic idea is to trade more scalable backbone routing for greater complexity
at the network periphery doing source & destination address selection. An
RFC 2260-style approach is another part of the proposed solution.
