Re: [address-policy-wg] Just say *NO* to PI space -- or how to make it lessdestructive

The problem is just a "I DO NOT WANT THIS", "I BELIEVE", "I DON'T LIKE" by certain people.

This opinion was based on the memory of a time when routing table size threatened to exceed the maximum capacity of the routers of the day, and would have exceeded this capacity without the introduction of CIDR and strong aggregation. Once bitten, twice shy. So we are left with a legacy that strong aggregation is good policy, and our addressing allocation requirements are substantially based on this policy. We don't have such a problem with routing table size these days, but the engineering point was made and is still valid. Nick
