To my mind then, LISP moves these tables from a few thousand DFZ routers managed (generally) by well staffed engineering teams to tens or hundreds of thousands of edge boxes, in many cases managed by the clueless.
This is something out of practical world that would have to be considered obviously. OTOH it is the prefix originating site that controls who and how will see the prefixes, not the traffic source site. Having control over what and to whom you advertise, you have the capability to "not being announced" to the "clueless".
The problem is we don't live in a LISP world. To go there now would be a wholesale conversion from what we are doing. Granted, the LISP folks have designed something that is relatively easy to convert to, so they are making an effort.
The LISP adventure is not as simple as "go from A to Z" - it may end up today if the test network decides to disband with no hurt to anyone. It may decide to go on and convert only the sites willing, which is actually what happens right now - giving benefits to users, and normal service for anyone else. -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Ćukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:lbromirski () jabber org about."
