Peter,
We are at the point where action has to be taken, either to get CIDR the "proper way", or by forced proxy aggregation at some places in the Internet.
Let me suggest to pursue a combination of both. Folks who are willing and able to cooperate should pursue the "proper way", and the rest may be subject of proxy aggregation (which may be "forced"). Yakov.
Fine with me, but WHO does the pushing?
People that already have all thedata and are registring routes like Merit?

Peter, When I checked today I noticed that there are about 1,200 more specific routes that are covered by aggregates (unless my perl code is broken). I suspect most of these could be withdrawn but it may be that providers are still waiting to see if any bad things happen. Certainly dropping another 1,000 would help. It is hard to critisize people who are "doing the right thing" for doing the right thing cautiously. Then again it isn't hard to get annoyed at those who are doing nothing, but I'm not sure who that would be. Curtis
