I note in the EOF minutes the following phrases:

For example, we know that the networks numbers from 193.x.x.x to 194.x.x.x are dedicated to europe and on the other end the networks numbers from 198.x.x.x to 199.x.x.x are dedicated to the US. So, it seems to be possible to announce these routes with only four routes, but how ?

I don't want to reduce your enthusiasm, but I would like to observe that we currently have over 25000 routes. Reducing 25000 to 4 is an interesting objective, but reducing it to e.g. 250 would already be a very good result. Or even 2500, for that matter. Christian Huitema

Cutting the number of routes to 10.000 is still a real win, and even more important than the actual number of routes, we have to cut down the amount of routing updates injected into the global Internet. Unfortenly, a lot of network operators/owners out there are not wery helpfull, and they basically force the rest of the network to pay for their (some nasty words here). ---Peter
