Re: More route-table bloat vs. ARIN micro-allocations

With some filtering of say Net-63's /24 bloat and other things, I have reduced
my route table by around 4000 routes  (71xxx to 67xxx)

My point is that if folks like AS 701 would clean up there announcements
(and its one of several reasons I don't buy transit from them) then we would
have less bloat in the system.

Yes, I'd rather see additional routes so that more providers are better 
connected.  Otherwords Micro-Allocations from RIR's would provide:

1. Better connectivity options for the bulk of the providers out there (not big ones)
2. Flexibility to add or change providers for the ISP's
3. Encouragement to multi-home by allowing MA's
4. Less hassles and negative impact on customers from renumbering.
   (NSI Makes it a real hassle to renumber via updates to host records)


But the widespread deagg to /24 doesn't seem to really help improve connectivity
