Gert Doering; Hi,
Something that right now confuses *me* is: If I understand this correctly, the 'default-free zone' is meant to be kept below 1000 routes, so routers can be fast.
The hard limit is, IMO, 8192.
But what about the internal structure of all these networks? At least the "internal core" boxes need to know all routes for the "NLI"s (or the NLIs' customers), which might well be many 1000s...
You are right. There is nothing mentioned in the draft, but I suggested 1000 today, which I still think enough for TLI internal, but should not be enough for NLI. Do you have any suggestion? Note that routers in NLIs may have less performance than those in TLIs. Masataka Ohta
