I feel, at least in this stage which we know the exsitence of CIDR-traffic-black-holing-ASs, Eric-jan's approach is a more appropraite one. Jessica- We seem to already have a more than adequate supply of volunteers to be guinea pigs, so I see no reason not to procede with testing on live network numbers. There are real sites out there that are starting to suffer from huge routing tables - let's not delay CIDR deployment any more than necessary. --Vince
