> Really, I would never have dared to offer a solution which depends on renumbering. Why not? My answer is not new: because renumbering is not needed at all if you enhanced BGP such that each router can aquire the view of a well-sparsed internet topology (= combination of maps of different zooms) and do forwarding based on location. It works even for much much larger networks ! Proof 1: Route from New York, 42nd Street to Sausolito,CA, Main Street. You can do this while using maps with no Main Street information on them prior entering Sausolito. Even more: By knowing the geographical location of your destination as well as of any node of your currently available maps you can properly route although you don't even see the name Sausolito for the longest part of your travel. Proof 2: Send a postal letter to some friend at any place in the world.Assumed, you and your friend live in a residential community with a central place with a bin of letter boxes for delivery and one box for posting. The termination points are these boxes, not your name and not the name of your friend. Even if either new roads resp new residential communities are going to be built, there will never be a scalability problem! As a matter of fact this RRG group has never understood what is the REAL cause of the problem nor how to exploit location REALLY. Heiner
