Except that everyone complains long and hard about BGP advertising /24's or smaller. I know a small operator who's setting up a webhosting company. He's got a single T1 and a /25 for now, but as soon as he gets multi-homed ( and plans that in the next year or so) with a different provider. He'll have the need to run BGP at that point will advertise the /25 or a /24. Numbering requirements and name based hosting as is highly recommended by ARIN will be the cause. The short answer is that small companies will start advertising small blocks in the name of address conservation. We either give out addresses willy nilly or we allow the announcement of small blocks and stop complaining about it. You can't have it both ways.

BGP isn't that expensive. ---- For some, it is a cost that can be mitigated by "workaround" technologies that are cheaper. Of course, it could be argued that if you're not willing to make the investment to do it the BGP way, you don't really need it bad enough. Enter the salesman who is heard to tell his prospects "...you don't have the cost of BGP, you get the same effect as BGP, and you don't even have to tell your ISP!". James H.
