Should InterNIC grant small ISPs (this one serves a rural area between Dallas and Oklahoma City) fully routable and portable IP space?
Larry Vaden, founder and CEO help-desk 903-813-4500
A long time ago, a group asked the same question. The answer turned out to be that the Internic, not being an ISP, has no clue about the routability of -any- prefix that is delegated. No delegation registry can ensure the routability of any given prefix. Thngs may have changed, can you describe to me what you consider a "fully routable and portable IP space" might look like and how such conditions might be enforced? -- --bill
