Well.. yeah.. but my hypothetical 64 /8's are twice address space than your hypothetical 2,097,152 /24's. About the only conclusion that you can *safely* draw is that Sprint has a more complicated network than UU does. Now *hopefully*, they have more customers too, or the Sprint backbone engineers will have to carry a much higher complexity/customer ratio, which means when the senior engineers finally snap under the pressure, we'll get junior engineers making weird work-arounds that will just complicate things 5 years down the road. Oh wait.. that already happened at most carriers, didn't it? That's where we got the CURRENT crop of senior engineers.. ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech Attachment:
