<DIV>One additional remark:</DIV>
<DIV>I have been involved in PNNI.So I know a lot about state of the art
hierarchical routing. When we did PNNI we were fancy about address
summarization (wrt 3 address families!) as well as about topology
aggregation (which we did definitively in a wrong way).</DIV>
<DIV>Today I am pursuing a completely different topology aggregation in order to
get rid of address summarization completely.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have said several times, that I have learned to be patient. However there
is a limit: TARA can incrementally be deployed such that the BGP table size
would continuously shrink provided that during this phase IPv4 addresses are
still globally unique. Thereafter they may be router-locally unique, no
problem.</DIV>

<DIV>know this paper for quite a while and whenever I mentioned any word on
this mailinglist about "stretch", a term invented by these authors as to
discriminate ANY hierarchical routing architecture, those that they know as
well as those that they don't know, I had to think of this paper.</DIV>
