Talk:Global Routing Table

From NANOG

issues

'peering': the global table is summary of all profixes in the DFZ, yes. peering, transit, etc isn't relevant in that context however.

'table within routers': one memory management strategy employed by peering networks is to not have full tables on those border routers, therefore to state that is the home of the most complete table isn't accurate.

'extranets': that is a different term, sometimes used in this context and sometimes used in the context of 'external partners' which are often reached over the public Internet. I would suggest a different article of the purpose and motivation of private IP-based networks is desired to be discussed. Likel;y a good topic since it comes up on the mailing list.

I reworked the text to eliminate these issues, hopefully without introducing more.
