Does that mean that all the internet registries no longer allocate /24 (or longer) prefixes that have nothing to do with the actual Internet topology (these prefixes aka "portable addresses") ? Perhaps folks from various Internet registries would be able to answer this question.
I assign /22s to ISPs. When they use them up I give them another /22. Private companies that show a need for a /24 are assigned a /24.
Ah. here is the rub. When you ISP buddies come back, you should ask them to return the origianal /22 for a /20. That way, the total size of the routing system stays the same!
Great idea. Know ANYONE who does that? The best I can do is give them a /20 (in addition to the original /22) if their growth warrants it.
