Now on the other hand by saying "and if it's smaller then a /20 you will be filtered" you cause undue pressure on people to "spin" their designs in ways to show that they can use a /20 and get the allocation from ARIN directly.
you mean not use nat? should i be broken-hearted?
NAT?!? You are obviously not understanding the point I was attempting to make. The point was that companies may not need more then a /24 to put their entire site on, yet may be pushed to say they have more in order to acquire a /20 from ARIN, just to be globally visable. If you were in a position where you did NOT have your own previously allocated swamp/b/a space, you wanted to multihome to a few different providers in such a way that you were globally reachable no matter who went offline and you only needed a /24 or less, what would you do? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : Steven Noble / Network Janitor / Be free my soul and leave this world alone : : My views = My views != The views of any of my past or present employers : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
