Re: design of a real routing v. endpoint id seperation

A customer with a prefix assigned from this chunk has to connect with an
  ISP who has

* a Very Large Multihoming (to handle scaling concerns) router somewhere
in its network that peers to other ISP Very Large Multihoming routers.

ISP operating a VLMrouter to offer multihoming service to their
customers would originate the entire multihoming space prefix to their
customers AND to all their peers.

These would have ALL the prefixes from the Multihoming Space.

So... Let me get this straight.  You think that significantly changing
the economic model of every ISP on the planet (or at least every large
ISP on the planet) is easier than changing the code in every core router?

ROTFLMAO
