This sounds similar to an idea I raised some months ago; inter-domain routing based on AS numbers.
Some people were criticizing that AS's are not of equal scales (from a tiny one to a global scale) and that it is not a useful/practical granularity. Studying the IRON, the enterprise also can be as small as SOHO and as big as the entire global Internet. Not much different. Then why not try an inter-domain routing (solely) based on AS numbers? Nonsense?
