To quote myself (draft-carpenter-metrics-00.txt)

   3.4. Number of announced routes (number)

   Applicable: at inter-ISP peering points; at connection of subscribers
   with more than one subnet.

   Measured by: analysis of routing tables.


The question is, how can ISPs be persuaded to put something
like this into their pricing structure? What would happen if
one major ISP did this before the others? It's very hard to see
how this can be run as an experiment; like route filters,
or flap damping, it can only be for real.
