Re: A proposal for reducing routes due to multihoming

   The first time I heard this idea was last year, from Noel Chiappa.
   Joel Halpern and I spent a while discussing it and decided it would
   scale surprisingly well.  However, why would the major providers be
   motivated to implement it at all?

Because it reduces routes...  and it has other benefits, such as allowing
subscribers to change providers within the provider group without
renumbering.  

If you still have a copy of Yakov's ID on stratum based aggregation, you
might check that out.  Sorry, it's expired and I don't have a copy myself.
Yakov and I are discussing overhauling the document and resubmitting it.
