Obtaining IP space from ARIN is easy as 1, 2, 3 1) Document your network and force your customers to document theirs (if you are re-allocating to customers) 2) Practice responsible allocations as outlines in RFC's & ARIN (force your customers to do the same) 3) SWIP K "Segal, Mark" <Mark.Segal@Corp.

Getting a "portable" /19 or /20
by mike harrison 09 Apr '01

09 Apr '01

With the demise of Winstar/good.net locally, and us having to renumber anyway, I am getting started on the idea of getting a 'portable' /19 from Arin. We are currently using a non-portable /20 and a couple of /24's. Any words of advice as we start this process? I'd like to do this right the first time and could use an experienced viewpoint.

This is actually an improvement, it used to take me that long to convince them we had a problem. I miss the days they were good.net and I could email actual people with a clue. Overall, they had been pretty decent to deal with and I'll miss them. --Mike--

Maybe you didn't realize you'd also contacted the administrators for AS7046: AS Nets then Nets now Net gain/loss AS7046 333 so low it's off the CIDR report! This may not be all your doing; I'd like to think the Internet community would have been working on it anyway, but social pressure does seem to help. Another 100,000 routes and we'll all be fine. Let me point out that the views of Messrs. Nussbacher and Huston are not incompatible. The ASNs appearing on Tony Bates's CIDR Report do seem to have made significant progress, but the Huston report at NANOG (reprised at ARIN) suggest that most growth is due to medium sized multihoming, which may not be reflected in the CIDR Report.

Now I guess some of these would have reduced their routing announcements in any event. Is this a scientific study? No. Does it show that perhaps the routing table growth can be flattened via contacting ASN admins? I believe the answer is yes. -Hank PS I have contacted AS8013 (PSA Canada) on March 6 (swip(a)PSI.CA, noc(a)psi.ca) No response and only a large growth over the past month.

BGP Economics ?

Dear Geoff; I just noticed the remarkable flattening in the recent growth of the BGP table in your BGP graphs at : http://www.telstra.net/ops/bgp/index.html It didn't even seem this striking at Minneapolis. Is this cessation of growth real ? Is this a sign of the recent economic slow-down, or is there some more technical explanation (such as more aggressive aggregation at Telstra)?
