I was thinking that we would have to ask the NOC for a /44.

But, I'm thinking that actually we can probably just ask the NOC to announce
the address space.  That decouples things much better and lets one set it
all up beforehand, debug it, and potentially take it elsewhere.

We can probably survive with a /48, which would give us 256 "customers"
It might be good to have two topologically "distant" /48s to setup two
ISPs [so that the two sets of addresses are more easily distinguished by
humans].
Probably need a small x86 box plus a 16-24 port switch as we likely don't
want this stuff on the IETF "LAN"

I will volunteer to set something up; it fits into part of my day job as a
matter of fact.  I can't promise to be in Buenos-Ares though.
