</div>And my point was if a "Really Big Global Carrier" is<br>
accepting and routing longer-than-/24's and /48's in their<br>
network (which reasonably well-connected and peers with<br>
other large carriers who have a similar persuasion), there<br>
is a higher (but still remote) chance that some portion of<br>
those longer subnets could be routable.<br>
<br>
Not very globally, but the intermittent performance would<br>
certainly raise enough frustration for some operators to<br>
seriously consider this.<br>
<br>
What I'm saying is - don't even do it. Doing it half-way is<br>
worse than not doing it at all, because it sets expectations<br>
that are difficult to undo.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Doing it 80% is enough to perceive a massive problem with your Internet access.. it needs to be 99%+ or its not worth considering...</div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div>
