If the providers were to relax the requirements to renumber when moving to another provider or when dual homing, the problem of the TWD would not be growing at its current rate.
Hmmm.... ISP has T1 to SPRINT, wants to switch to MCI, SPRINT says, OK you have a choice, either renumber or pay us to route your traffic to MCI via a private exchange point so we don't have to knock holes in our aggregate. That way you can use SPRINT's addresses and MCI's T1, but for a fee.
And the global routing table grows.
If this is done with a private two-party exchange point, then can't it also be done without any change in the global routing table? Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc. Fax: +1-604-546-3049 http://www.memra.com E-mail: michael@memra.com
