[snip] One of our dialup customers wants to access his website in the 206.116.31.0/24 network at another provider. [snip] Anyways, my question is, are their any other ISPs/NSPs that follow the same guidelines. UUNet seems to honor it just fine, as does MCI. Is Sprint more hardnosed than most ?
That is the wrong question to ask. The real question is who has been handing out 206.116/16 like they were dealing cards? A quick look at the announcments and in whois.arin.net reveals a bunch of /24 spread out over Canada. Historically, and currently, the Canadians crowd the top of the Tony Bates cidr list. Why is that? -mark P.S. I see iSTAR has 206.116/16.... why don't they announce it?
