| Bridging can solve the problem and it's cheaper than routing.
| Perhaps a cost reduce factor.
Bridging isn't always possible - bridging only works amongst compatible
link level technologies.
Please, can we stop telling people how they have to run their nets, and
get back to implementing the fullest possible flexibility, so they can
choose, and we (the internet) isn't locked out of new technologies that
might arise.
I am not entirely sure how this question switched from what (if any)
knowledge of address boundaries should be in implementations, to what size
allocations ISPs should make (the two are just about unrelated), but all the
recent discussions are just repeating the same old stuff over and over, with
no sign that a different conclusion will be reached than it has been every
time in the past.
