The idea to this is to allow new networks to emerge onto the internet, without potentially having to fork out substantial amounts of money.
Hi Chris, I think that would be the worst possible use for 240/4. The last thing new entrants need is IP address space with complex and quirky legacy issues. No-sale on the money issue too. I did a cost analysis years ago on the money involved in "the rest of us" accepting a route announcement into the DFZ. The short version is that if you can't afford IPv4 addresses at the current market prices, you don't belong here. Your presence with a /24 will collectively cost us more than you spent, just in the first year. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
