Belong, much the same way as you own furniture?
There are likely several.
For example?
Most specifically dampening.
I don't think that makes routing faster or easier, it just makes life easier for people when bad things might otherwise happen.
It's already outside human built lists (which are always error prone) in many if not almost all circumstances. We'll see better tools and life will get easier in spite of a growing number of routes and peering relationships.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Humans build `smaller' lists which are aggragated together (via some kind of RA). Building a global list from the RA is automated and tools exists for this, but the more complicated an origanisations routing becomes, the more liekly they will introcude errors into the RA. Some, but not all, of these errors will be detected.
Anything longer than /24 is not very routable (Sprint for one doesn't accept routes longer than /24), so /24 is the usable limit. I have no problem with a statement saying blocks smaller than /24 are not portable.
But you beleive that any /24 route should be considered completely portable in most circumstances? -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
