Re: Request for Comments on a topological address block for N. Calif.

I expect that if Sprintlink were to propose a rational plan to renumber and -return- the older delegations that they would be provided with a large, single block that Sean could pursuade Sprintlink to carve up in the fashion that he indicated. Methinks that this is backwards. Sprintlink clearly has a rational plan. Obviously they cannot possibly return an older delegation until they can get more address space. It would go a long way in reducing the size of the global routing I count 45 prefixes. IMHO, someone needs to be following RIPE's guidelines and should be assigning shorter prefixes to Sprint on a per-block basis. Tony
