I am trying to categorize service providers into:
(A) those who provide bandwidth only to end users or to other providers
(perhaps Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and many regional and national ISPs fall in
this category).
(B) those who provide network-related services other than bandwidth
(hosting, storage,
Cayle,
This may be partial hijack of the thread or even a trivial query but I ask
this since you mentioned "For cost reasons, Ethernet is often used". We hear
this argument all the time. The standard unabridged reason I have learned is
the ubiquity of Ethernet devices, whatever that means. Can you

Apologies if this is too naive to ask but is there some detail available
about the items listed in the summary?
1) In particular, what exactly is the difference between the "BGP routing
table entries examined (292961)" and "Unique aggregates announced to
Internet (145391)"?
2) I believe 292961 is
Since this old thread recently became alive (momentarily), and I read
through the posts, (perhaps, again!) ...
Patrick, I would like to understand why you said that routers handling 10G
traffic in DFZ are not bothered (much) by a few extra prefixes? Isn't this
counter-intuitive? For example, for t

Hi all,
I hope most people on the list look at the routing table analysis reports.
Excerpt from last week show about 292961 prefixes which after maximum
aggregation can be reduced to 138493.
I wonder how many of you do actually aggregate?
If so, do you aggregate manually or using some algorithm?
As I gather, there is a mix of answers, ranging from "building the resources
according to requirements and HOPE for the best" to "use of arguably
sophisticated tools and perhaps sharing the results with the legal
department".
I would be particularly interested in hearing the service providers'
vie
Just to be technically correct:
Even if you could, you wouldn't do that with 1/8 and 2/8: will need to pair
up 2/8 with 3/8!
