Single guys go in for a quart of milk and some TP and walk out w/ a MINIMUM of four gallons of milk, 144 rolls of TP, and a side of beef. saving the poor routing table is a laudable and worthwhile goal, but dumping the excess into the edges, "just cause its easy" strikes me as lame. a routing table slot is a slot is a slot. It holds a /96 as well as a /32 as well as a /112. If we are going to ditch "microassignments" (and boy is that term an oxymoron) then we should also dump "one-size-fits-all" and really and truely give folks what they need. RIRs have -never- assured the routablity of delegations. --oat willie (as a lone voice)
