CIDR and aggregation in the early 1990s was developed in response to AGS+ routers falling over under the strain of the global size back then. Since then, IPv4 has been a progressive loosing proposition and only gets worse every year. This proposal could certainly accelerate the rate at which it

Appliance virtualization is perfectly acceptable for a lot of things. But there are large sets of problems that you will never catch that way. To the OP : With respect to 'strategies' : 1. Test something to make sure it works. 2. Then test it to see where and how it breaks. Lots of people do
