I seem to be missing something here, because right now I cannot see a direct relationship between the fact that a LIR is a "regular" LIR or an aggregate LIR (multinational), or the size of the initial allocation (/35 vs /32 or /28) when we talk *routing table size*. I think the "load" comes from the *complexity*, all the rest is indeed a matter of a few bits... Wilfried. PS: and by the way, the current state of some "major" provider(s) here in Europe seem to suggest that most of those discussions tend to become mute pretty often these days ;-)
