Of course, this has the same chance of being accepted as registry policy as I do of running faster than Usain Bolt. But it points us once again to the fact that user sites do not pay the correct price for their externality costs. As we've known for many years, an appropriate economic model would be for ISPs to be charged per BGP route that they advertise, and to pass these costs on to user sites proportionately. By the way, I showed a graphical history of E against sqrt(N) in the IEPG meeting in Dublin (slide 8 in http://www.iepg.org/2008-07-iepg72/carpenter.pdf ). I'm working on a writeup.
