How do you come up with that number? Of course, we have an issue with reclaiming existing space, but I think there are a number of people who have /20's today who only need a /24. Also, only allocated ASN's could anounce (what's that, 24k today?), and probably half or more of those would choose not to use this /24. Why would say, UUnet with /12's need a /24? So I'm thinking worst case this might be 5-15k new routes, which is probably 3-13% of the total space already announced. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
