Hi Eliot, I think we broadly agree, except that you see more promise in potentially two different scalability solutions to suit small and large end-user networks (or no solution for big networks), whereas I prefer one solution for all sizes of end-user networks.
Also, I think you meant 10^6 rather than "2^6", meaning a million enterprise networks: > What I am saying is that if we had 2^6 enterprise networks > announcing, using BGP, we could survive and survive well. > We can debate about the 2^6 #, of course. I guess from this that you can imagine the DFZ being OK at a million plus prefixes. Maybe it can (I tend to think not), but doesn't the average enterprise network have lots of physical sites, each of which it would want to multihome via two or more local ISPs? From your message, I got the impression you thought a million enterprise networks could be accommodated without any new system, using current BGP techniques. What assumptions are you making about the total number of prefixes a million "enterprise" networks would advertise? Or did you mean a million prefixes for all enterprise networks, which I think is a very much smaller number of enterprise networks. - Robin _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
