I don't know if this is a waranted use of PI space. The problem here is that the extra route has a global cost for everyone.
This is an extremely short-sighted viewpoint. More routing table entries enable finer-grained routing decisions. In many cases, this leads to improvements according to some cost metric. There are isolated inefficiencies, but you cannot remove them without decreasing overall performance. Isn't BGP UPDATE rate more of an issue than the table size these days, anyway? -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
