You can't do proxy aggrigation without consent!!! You WILL create policy violations as well as destablizing global routing. Forget any concept of 'forced proxy aggregation'!!!! Tony, yell all you like. How will you stop someone? As we mentioned at IETF, folks will have to do proxy aggregation unless there is substantial aggregation happening just so that they can survive. Well, I suppose Tony H. could offer to buy us all 64Mb routers if he's so concerned about us creating policy problems for him... As for destabilizing global routing - we're going to have plenty of opportunity to experience that if we *don't* deploy aggregation; routers which crash and reboot every 5 minutes because they are out of memory do simply delightful things to routing stability. Question to the MERIT folks: have you had any luck (and have you tried) using the ASxxx@MERIT.EDU mailing lists to try and get in touch with those non-BGP4 sites which might not be on the BGPD or Regional Techs mailing list? I'm likely asking the obvious, but... --Vince
