Apart from that, IMHO cooking down the prefixes only buys time, but does not solve the problem. More people will multihome, and with the current mechanisms and routing cloud, they have to do it by injecting prefixes.
And this won't change in future.
I'm not sure whether this hasn't long become an architectural question and should be moved to the (new) IETF arch list. Opinions?
Yours, Elmi.
PS: Btw, anyone can give me a hint on where to discuss new ideas for e.g. routing schemes (and finding out whether it's an old idea)?
With pretty high certainy one can say that it is an old idea with some minor twist or wording change.
I was thinking of something different from Susan's approach, hence my question. Cooking up stuff to save memory and processing in the router isn't it, IMHO, but I have ideas in my head which I would like to share. But then, I wouldn't want to spoil everybody's time if it's old.
