According to this afternoon's Bates Report, there are over 95,000 routes
being advertised across the internet, at least from the vantage point of the
gentleman doing the reporting.
I bring this up because a week ago, the reporter saw 93,000 routes.
Historically, in September 1996 there were about 40,000 routes advertised.
In September 1998 that number was around 50,000.
I gotta wonder how much of this increase is due to people multiple homing
with different ISP's so they can "load balance across the internet"? :->
In any case, for those who ask "how big a router do I need to handle the
full internet routing table?" the answer may well be "how many months do you
want to keep the same unit in service?"
Can you imagine what this would be without CIDR?
