This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jun 25 12:00:00 PDT 1999 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

On the subject of the general number of routes increasing, has everyone involved in the development or maintainence of their routers checked that the 2^16 (65536) limit is not going to hit them. I know that for those using PC routers, like my old colleagues at Demon, it is important that you make sure that your OS is upgraded to use a >16 bit int for a "reference count" to an interface. Andrew Bangs @ Demon spotted this a while back and submitted patch to the *BSD groups, of which I know OpenBSD has changed the reference count to a 32 bit. Once you add some IGP routes the 2^16 is coming up fast. On Fri, Jun 25, 1999 at 12:00:02PM -0700, Tony Bates wrote:
