What do you mean by suboptimal allocation?

The ipv4 routing table contains many individual /24 subnets that cannot be summarized, causing bloat in the routing tables.

With ipv6, that can be simplified with just a couple of /32 or /48 prefixes per AS.

This, because a bunch of random /24s were sold off to different ISPs, because of address scarcity.
