Now on the other hand by saying "and if it's smaller then a /20 you will be filtered" you cause undue pressure on people to "spin" their designs in ways to show that they can use a /20 and get the allocation from ARIN directly.
you mean not use nat? should i be broken-hearted?
Great. I use NAT. I have a single IP address, can't get much better than that. How do I multihome with my /32? This is a serious question, several large web sites are a single IP that is translated by "nat"; load balancers actually. If you want to argue everyone should use NAT, you need to do that hand in hand with a method for making smaller allocations multi-home capable, or you've only solved half the problem, and thus have a useless solution. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
