Re: more specific routes in today reality

Jan was complaining that it's too expensive to become a LIR. I put that cost into relation to the cost people have to pay anyway if they want to do *proper* multihoming, or put more precisely, be part of the default-free zone. And compared to that cost, becoming a LIR should be the least of your worries.

.and as a brief sidenote: the ARIN community discussed the high entry level fee as an effective barrier to entry for obtaining globally unique prefixes. It was discussed that such a high cost helped protect the global routing table from "contamination" by those with no bona fide engineering goals and/or questionable motivations for injecting further routes. /david
