Re: Route table growth and hardware limits...talk to the filter

If filtering is inevitible, I think it's worth reviving the CIDR police and perhaps scaring some clue into the networks that stand to be filtered off the net by anyone needing to do any level of filtering.

I agree. The first step would be figuring out the needed aggregate announcements, contacting the providers or upstreams. Who is willing to run a database to coordinate the effort? In North America, most everybody has returned from holidays. Let's make September the month of CIDR improvement! And October 1st the deadline.... I do not agree the filters as originally proposed are "too aggressive". Traffic engineering with one's peers is all very well and good, but at the second AS (or overseas) it's not acceptable.
