If renumbering is so painful and fairness is still required, even top level ISPs with PI space should also be forced renumbering.
Very good point. Actually, only true "tier 1" ISPs (those with no default routing and all external connections being either peers or customers... every ISP tech will understand what I mean, but this definition hair can be spliced infinitely) really _need_ PI. ALL others can use PA. This would bring the DFZ down to a very small 2-figure count of routes. :-) That's the only real fundamental NEED we can identify. All the other "needs" are luxury... and we would debating whom we allow this luxury and whom we do not. Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
