This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jul 30 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

Erm, I know I posted about this a while back, but I think this is potentially an important one. I haven't got a graphical browser just now - so I cannot look at the graphs online - so this may be all complete speculation, but can someone please extrapolate when we will hit 2^16 routes in the general world ? Subtract a few week window for local routes to push people over the 2^16 number and then can we sit back and wonder how many routers / vendors / software implementations will have some bug at that number ? If I were being a millenial sceptic, I could hazard a guess at about New Years Eve for that date ... :-) Regards, -- Peter Galbavy Knowledge Matters Ltd http://www.knowledge.com/

Several promising local ISP's have local routing tables bigger than 2^16. In fact, I suspect all the usual suspects are pushing more. I don't think this is a major problem. /vijay
