Re: Getting a "portable" /19 or /20

Well, you could acquire a company that already has one. :)
That has been the suggestion from several people. I've even considered it, especially when one of my local competitors has a /18, and they are much smaller than we are. We 'NAT' an incredible amount of dial-up and commercial customers to reduce our need for public IP's, and trends thankfully went to customers WANTING to be NAT'd and Proxied for 'firewall' reasons, with only a few public IP's. It seems a poor reasons for acquiring a company, as they really do not "own" the address space. --Mike--

Companies with large quantities of usable IP space typically got it prior to ARIN's existance in which case they do, indeed, "own" it. --msa

But as Stanford University has shown: http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2000/0124ipv4.html there is another way. Anyone know whether ARIN has started to allocate yet IPs from the former class A of Stanford?

http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2000/0124ipv4.html "We don't have any plans to renumber our network," says Richard Moore, division manager for network services at Michigan State University. Moore says the university is using a fraction of the Class A space that was originally allocated to Merit, a consortium of Michigan universities and colleges. Wow. I bet MERIT is proud to have Richard onboard. And here I was worried that *I* had made an ass of myself in public. Thanks Richard. I feel MUCH better about myself now. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
