There's at least one known way to build a network which has no capacity problems at NAPs and does not break down routing scalability. Hint: it does _not_ involve zillions of local exchanges. Rather, it scales up capacity of relatively few exchange points. BTW, if you can explain how to build a network which is: a) does not involve geographical/administrative monopolies b) can exploit natural geographical locality and c) won't die because of routing scalability problems we all will be very interested to learn. To my knowledge, nobody figured that out yet. --vadim
