AS, or even dozens. So I'm curious...if we could wave a magic wand and control the exact number of entries any AS needs to advertise, what would folks consider to be roughly the right number of entries?
Wouldn't this greatly depend on the span/breath of your network ? If you are a large nationwide (or even international) ISP/network, then you want to be able to distribute your network so that someone on west coast trying to reach one of your west coast IP addresses will have a pretty direct route into your west coast infrastructure instead of funnelling all traffic into one central location. But a smaller ISP based in only one city would not need to distribute traffic through different entry points since traffic from each transit provider would end up on the same router. So I am not sure one could draw any "right number of entries".
