Re: The Cidr Report

Tli asked: | Exercise for the reader: If prefixes of length F and longer are filtered, | and a domain has a prefix of length N, how many prefixes can they propagate | into the backbone? How many before people start proxy aggregating them? A/ (2 ** F) - 1. [assuming nobody imposes exact-match prefix filters] B/ When we can easily do: "router bgp N proxy-aggregate route-map Lazy-Types ! exceptions route-map Lazy-Types deny 10 match as-path 100 ! the rule route-map Lazy-Types permit 20 match originated-prefix-count 16" then the number 16 strikes me as a starting point, although I probably want to re-read Dennis's comments from a few years ago. Do I pass? Sean.
