I couldn't help but notice how much address space BBN has:

4 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. (SATNET) 8 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. (BBNCCNET), listed as "temp" since 1992 46 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. (NET-BBNNET)

It would be nice if they (BBN-Planet) would renumber into a much smaller block. As one of their customers who renumbered to get a larger block, I find it hypocritical that they are asking their customers to renumber when they have not done it themselves.

Perhaps BBN is waiting for the Internet Draft <draft-ietf-cidrd-mktbased-alloc-00.txt> to become an RFC. [Come to PIARA BOF at IETF to discuss.] If so, these As could be worth millions of $. Best to let them alone for now. --Kent
