I'm sorry but it is all well and good to say this, but if I look the amount of clasful routes AS701 is injecting into the Internet it comes out at ~1200 routes (~6% of the total routing table) and then the aggregates from AS701 I get the following.
Yup, AlterNet could remove ~1000 routes & replace them w/ just a few aggregates, *if* we did not have to worry about mixing NSFNET AUP and non-NSFNET AUP nets in the same aggregate. Since we do have to worry about it, its taking me a lot longer - I'm stuck with doing aggregation just by site. For those who say that I should just allocate nets out of two blocks (one block for NSFNET AUP net & one block for non-NSFNET AUP nets), I'm sorry - it just does not work that way. I am not a fortune teller - I can't tell if a site is going to want or qualify for the NSFNET AUP when we assign them some nets. I'll post some numbers in a little while to show what AlterNet could do under various scenarios. --asp@uunet.uu.net (Andrew Partan)
