200k routes, here we come!
it is just good common sense though, eh?
Well, not necessarily. Tier-2s should be given much more credit than they typically are in write-ups like this. When a customer is single homed to a tier-2 that has multiple tier-1 upstreams, and uses a delegated netblock from the tier-2's aggregations, that means one less ASN and one or more less routes in the global table. It's a Good Thing(tm). -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com> <todd@vierling.name>
