I have been wondering - since BGP is all about reachability as a goal and not so much optimal routing/best path/etc. is the easy solution for growth in the DFZ not overly simple? The way I see it you will end up with three sets of routes that you will need to carry on your routers:
1) Own customer routes - these can be any prefix length between /48 and /64 2) Other LIRs aggregates in same RIR region - these are /32 and bigger 3) Supernets for other RIR regions - these are /12 or larger
... geo adressing? :-) anyway, about #3, how should be it implemented in practice? Who should carry others route in DFZ between regions, and who should distribute it to others? Should RIPE/ARIN/APNIC etc "pay" someone to make region<>region communication possible? and yeah, the idea is sound and I agree but can't really see an easy way to implement it today... -- --- ------------------------------ Roger Jorgensen | - ROJO9-RIPE - RJ85P-NORID roger@jorgensen.no | - The Future is IPv6 ------------------------------------------------------- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
