Paul,
We agree on all but this small point. Certainly one should
allocate ip address space in a topological manner. However, I
know of several large NSP/ISPs that don't because there's no
[technological or economic] punitive incentive for them to do so.
I believe that the correlation between topology and geography will
increase as a function of time.
In fact, I believe that today the correlation is quite high.
The lack of correlation is the exception, in my experience, than
the rule.
