Point: there's a body of data that indicates "multihoming" is not the culprit. There's a lot of needless de-aggregating that has little or nothign to do with multihoming, and mostly to do with lack of clue. Both WRT limiting the scope of provider-based so-called "traffic engineering" (CF ptomaine drafts) and that folks not using large tracts of space can return blocks and get blocks that actually *fit* their need. Unfortunely there's a few companies/consultants whose business plan requires them to graze on the commons and get all in a huff when any of us tell them they're filtered because they are causing incremental damage to our networks. Get over it kids; stable and deterministic behavior is required for IP to work optimally.
