[rrg] making a difference

Hi Brian,

|I hate to be a contrarian, but I think it's more accurate
|to say CIDR *was* a success story (which you can clearly see
|by examining the BGP growth curve for the 1994-1998 period).
|It's much less clear that CIDR has been holding the floods
|back since about 1999; there are other factors at work,
|and the growth in PI assignments is probably the main reason
|we're here (on this list).

Without CIDR (and supernets), wouldn't we have > 2 million Class C prefixes
in BGP?

I would say Internet is a success story. That's the main reason we're here.
