I understand that, however my interest was much more limited than launching
an incindary device into another peering battle.
I'm want to understand why a 1.5:1, or 2:1 balance is required. What
technical purpose does it achieve.
I've asked folks from large and small providers about this, and they've
told me a variety of reasons. But none of the reasons, so far, have held
technical merit in the final analysis. There were always alternatives
which did not require maintaining a inverse market share balance between
providers.
ANS used to require cold potato routing, is it time to bring it back?
I know, provider-based CIDR makes that difficult.
