Well, it won't. The proposal for filtering is to filter on assigment boundary, and for swamp space filter on /24. Now, what will break is people punching holes in their PA space for multihomed users. Funny enough, this has never been discussed (to my knowledge) as a problem in PTOMAIN WG of the IETF. There the argument was for traffic engineering and commercial relationships... > As we all agree that re-assign address is NOT practical at all thus just > filtering > /20 block is not a good solution. That is not the suggestion. See above. The assignments per block and RIR is well known. Best regards, - kurtis -
