But this happens every couple of years. The global table has outgrown the capacity of the PFC3C, and before that, of the PFC2. So despite seemingly unescapable hardware limitations, a gradual growth of the prefix count is not much of a problem in itself for the network as a whole.
This is definitely solvable, it just costs money. Money it seems the "polluter" doesn't pay. Sure, one can see it as "cost of doing business" to be an ISP, but it's also easy to see that a prefix in the DFZ most likely costs more than 50EUR per year in equipment having to be paid by SOMEONE. There is no free lunch. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
