A level s assumes 10^7 to 10^8 prefixes. If a household or a person is looked at as

No, I don't see SOHO networks appearing at this level; it will be local ISPs
that we see as WAN prefixes. (OK, there is a geek minority that may want their
SOHO network multihomed, but surely not enough to matter.)

So I'm thinking of a network with at least 10^10 hosts, but three orders of
magnitude fewer WAN prefixes at level s.



Is there an empirical evidence that the ratio is always about 1:10 for Ps+x ->
Ps+x+1?


No. It's a design choice, if you like.



How much effort is required for pro bono formation of the initial Level 2, Region1?
What is the minimum number and the tier of ISPs that need to be involved?


I think it could crystallize around quite a small number of ISPs. The number who
could sit together in the bar at some *NOG meeting, for example. If the model
works at all, it has to work that way. Big bangs don't work.

it is for comments:
