With the option of filtering on the RIR minimums, I'm not terribly worried about breaking connectivity to the people announcing all /24s instead of their /19. Broken connectivity for them is probably the only way they will ever look at cleaning up their announcements. The organizations that are hurt unnecessarily by filtering on the RIR minimums are the ones multi-homing with smaller PA space or announcing a few more specifics here and there for traffic engineering. > > You can rathole the discussion on specific implementations and > memory structures all the livelong day, but that won't change any > individual operator's behavior.

I'm just trying to generate ideas to get people thinking of better methods of reducing routing table bloat without hurting everyone. Forrest
