Re: The Big Squeeze

When dampening was first being rolled out I remember one of the early networks that got hit was PSI's net 38/8. Treating flapping prefixes differently based on length has more to do with how many people scream when prefixes covering a large amount of address space get dampened than the impact of the route flap of an individual prefix on the router.

Also, it is thought that longer prefixes tend to flap more than shorter. randy
