So assuming this operates on a pollution model the victims of routing table bloat are compensated by the routing table pollutors for the use of the slots which they have to carry. so I take the marginal cost of the slots that I need subtract the royalities I recieve from the other participants and if I'm close to the mean number of slots per participant then it nets out to zero. Routing table growth continues but with some illusion of fairness and the cost of maintaining an elaborate system which no-one needs.
One hopes that the costs of consuming routing table slots creates backpressure to discourage needless use, and that the royalities receive offset the costs of carrying any additional routing table slots. Note that our present system lacks both consistent backpressure on consumption of routing table slots and compensation for carrying additional routes. /John p.s. While I do believe there would be a net benefit, it also should be noted that there is no apparent way to transition to such a model in any case, i.e., it could have been done that way from the beginning, but a large scale economic reengineering effort at this point might be impossible.
