I would note that if there is a specific prefix and AS, then the router to support such an attachment need not be very large. This model is currently used for route servers and therouter does not have to carry full routing.
I don't think that is correct. It is likely that the router for the root-server (glad I don't need to pronounce that ;-) will get transit from multiple parties and need to do full routing as I don't think it is politically correct to default to someone. A route-server doesn't neccessary need to have full connectivity, and if it has, that connectivity doesn't have to be correctly spread among the people using it. That wouldn't be true for a root-server, would it? Geert Jan
