You are the biggest ISP in Europe aren't you? How big? Couldn't you spend a few quid on incorporating Demon Internet Services Inc. in the USA? Wouldn't you then be eligible for IP addresses from the US Internic?
This has been consdidered I understand... but we want to play the game and make the rules better, not cheat :-)
In a classless IPV4 world in which the old Class A address area is in production use, would we have enough available IP addresses for providers to do this on a large scale assuming that they would have near 100% utilization in the blocks that were being allocated statically?
Didn't the experiment with 39/8 show that it was safe to allocate classlessly out of the old Class A addresses?
I think so and yes :-) Regards, -- Peter Galbavy peter@demon.net @ Demon Internet phone://44/181/371_3700 http://www.wonderland.org/~peter/ snail://UK/N3_1TT/London/42_Hendon_Lane/Demon_Internet_Ltd/
