Re: Cogent move without renumbering

Actually, your memory is incomplete. Wasn't it Deering who did the analysis that it would actually _decrease_ the _global_ table to mere hundreds, but increase the internal routing tables of large carriers?

the analysis was suspect (you should have seen the sentence i deleted and replaced with this:-)

And given the perspective of another decade of history, I'd argue that without the incentive to join IXs, we still have the problem that most "ISPs that matter" aren't connected to _any_ IX. (Noted as well by Paul Vixie in an earlier message.)

this is not what vixie said at all, luckily for him, because it is incorrect randy
