    Could you please elaborate on this? Unless Bob is actually breaking the
    "single AS needs to have common IGP and be connected internally", I don't
    understand the relevance of your statement above. Just because he's
    multihomed doesn't mean he can't just announce /32 and then internally
    handle the routing (of course he should do aggregation though, but perhaps
    is smaller chunks).

    Well, if you need a /20 for your business needs, you should request it.
    Afaik as long as you justify it, it shouldn't be a problem?

    But I do agree that /56 should be enough for residential users for quite a
    while, so let's start there.
