Re: The SWAMP

If there has to be a separate route for each one anyway, why not just blow 253*10 addresses and announce a /24 for each root name server, even if only one IP out of each /24 is used?

Less CPU to blow holes in filters that normally deny > /24.

How far does this get extended, then? What if, to encourage aggregation, /24s start to be filtered? Do you then blow a /23? A /22? I guess the real question is how do you balance between two scarce resources, router CPU and IPv4 address space. -BD
