"This policy allows a downstream customer's multi-homing requirement to serve as justification for a /24 reassignment from their upstream ISP, regardless of host requirements" -ej -----Original Message----- From: Harsha Narayan [mailto:hnarayan@cs.ucsd.edu] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 1:41 PM To: Alec H. Peterson Cc: Ejay Hire; nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: FW: /8s and filtering Hello, The policy says that a /24 of PA space can be given if the customer can show that it has an immediate requirement of 25% of the /24 = /26. That is the reason I asked if the multihomer has to be able to fully utilize a /26=25% of /24 to be able to multihome. Thanks, Harsha. On Tue, 10 Dec 2002, Alec H. Peterson wrote:

ARIN ratified a policy that allows multihoming as justification for a /24.
I was thinking about PI space. ARIN did in fact ratify a policy stating that a provider may allocate a customer a /24 of PA space if they are multihomed.
