The way around it is to stop growing the DFZ routing table by the size of the Prefixes. If customers could have PI addreses and the DFZ routing table was based, instead, on ASNs in such a way that customers could use their upstream's ASNs and not need their own, then, provider switch would

the internet model is to expect and route around failure. You cannot stop the last mile backhoes. no, but if your facility is critical, you have redundant physical and layer one exits from it. and you have parallel sites. randy

ISPs who wish to connect customers who have allocations from the multihoming space must a) announce the whole space aggregated b) peer with other providers who host other customers As mentioned, this huge aggregate attracts unwanted traffic. It would make more sense if this so-called

There is not only the multihoming issue but also the PI address issue. Even if any ISP would run his network very competently and there were no outages we would face the ISP switching issue. Again we would end up with either PI addresses announced by the ISP or BGP by the customer. With
