There are excellent graphs on http://www.arin.net/regserv/IPStats.html, now. Of course, this only shows the North American part of the picture. The brief summary is an extremely rapid growth in 1999 and 2000, with a much more modest growth this year. It would be an interesting "update" presentation at NANOG, if someone (maybe from ARIN), were to do a combined graphs of all RIR AS number and IP Address block growth, from ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC. This would also indicate the timeframe needed for deployment of software to support 4 byte AS numbers. FYI, recently issued AS numbers have been in the 22XXX area. - Daniel Golding -----Original Message----- From: Leo Bicknell [mailto:bicknell () ufp org] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 6:18 PM To: Randy Bush Cc: Daniel Golding; Leo Bicknell; nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: multi-homing fixes On Fri, Aug 24, 2001 at 03:11:39PM -0700, Randy Bush wrote:
please look at slides 11 and 15 of <http://psg.com/~randy/010809.ptomaine.pdf> the /24s of small multihomers is half the routing table (see geoff's data) and is growing radially (if you are silly enough not to filter that
stuff). Does anyone have a graph of the number of allocated AS numbers? I ask because in a perfect world each AS would originate 1 prefix only, as they got enough address space in their first alloaction to service them forever. In that case growth of the AS table would be the growth of the routing table. The real world would never work like that of course, but it is an absolute lower bound on the table size, I think. I do believe we can get much closer to this world with address space sizes like those available in IPv6, however it's not clear to me that people are really trying to think that way. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
