This document examines the various longer term trends visible within
the characteristics of the Internet's BGP table and identifies a
number of operational practices and protocol factors that contribute
to these trends.  The potential impacts of these practices and
protocol properties on the scaling properties of the inter-domain
routing space are examined.

This document is the outcome of a collaborative exercise on the part
of the Internet Architecture Board.
