Very good point. Actually, only true "tier 1" ISPs (those with no
default routing and all external connections being either peers or
customers... every ISP tech will understand what I mean, but this
definition hair can be spliced infinitely) really _need_ PI. ALL others
can use PA. This would bring the DFZ down to a very small 2-figure count
of routes. :-)

That's the only real fundamental NEED we can identify. All the other
"needs" are luxury... and we would debating whom we allow this luxury
and whom we do not.


Best regards,
Daniel
