And if everyone advertised /24s instead of larger aggregate networks, routers would have to store about 12 million routes. Better yet, why not just advertise a /32 for every IP address?
Most routers would crash and the internet would stop long before we ever got to 12 million routes.
- jarfil 8y agoThat's a lot of words to say that BGP is outdated.
- noselasd 8y agoHow would an alternative deal with that problem ?
- john37386 8y agoSome /24 are more critical than other. There is a price to security and for sure advertising only /24 is probably not viable. The article mentionned that some networks within the /19, in this incident, were critical. So yes, I believe that every businesses should advertise /24 for their highly critical infra. They can advertise /19, /20 and so on for the less important networks. No need to use /24 for everything.
