Please no... That will drop me off the map..
Yeah maybe but what about where the RIRs have assigned
independent /24 space..
or ISPs have subdelegated the IPs to a multihomed customer,
was more thinking
about where a bunch of routes originating from a single ASN
can be aggregated
rather than routing bloat in general. There are numerous such
examples of people
with eg a /19 announcing 32x /24 etcSteve
I don't have the stats handy at the moment, but we decided to Multi-home
I researched several issues with /24 blocks. One thing that seemed to stick
out was that some providers were using /20 and /21 as "multi-home" blocks.
They were reserving that block just for /24 multi-homing.. and I also remember
that of the /24 being annouced independently, a majority of them were not
multihomed.......
just how bad is the auto-summarization at the upstream for the route propagation
via BGP in the large routers anyway?
