[arin-ppml] ARIN-2023-8 - Reduce 4.1.8 Maximum Allocation

[Dominik Dobrowolski]

Dear Wiliam,

You’re a person I often agree with, but here you’re being unreasonable.

In your article you mention two costs:

1. Cost of transport
2. Cost of hardware

Both are included into the transit price we pay. If it was unprofitable,
transit prices would be higher to cover the costs.

World goes forward, we will upgrade hardware even if we can hold the full
table, we upgrade it to accommodate for more throughput.

Keep in mind that a full table in FIB is not necessary for DFZ access,
there are plenty of people running software routers capable of high
throughput (especially with VPP, DPDK)

Holding the growth of internet just to keep the life of routers longer is
2008 mentality, just like the article mentioned.

Kind Regards,
Dominik
