All submitted mainstream proposals are DV-based, i.e. have to maintain RIBs. From the newest discussion I have learned: None of them has considered that the growing number of paths is also and even a more severe scalability problem than the FIB growth. None of them does offer any solution, and indeed, I think, any restriction wouldn't be good (like controlling by pricing). TARA isn't based on DV, i.e. it doesn't need a classical FIB (instead some alternative tables) and no RIB at all. Instead of a RIB, some zoom-topologies of the internet need to be maintained. Without any costs, an astronomically greater number of routes can be provisioned hereby. Hence TARA is the only solution that has addressed the RIB growth issue (-implicitly, i.e. by no extra doing). I cannot see how any of the mainstream proposals will deal with this issue. Heiner
