Funky discovery... question is, why does GE need such massive addr space? :) -=asr On Tue, 23 Dec 1997, Alex Rubenstein wrote:

Perhaps the answer is in ancient history, back before the Internet had classful networking. My understanding is that this delegation predates the creation of Class A/B/C networks. -- --bill

Because they are directly responsible for the existence of the Internet. After all, GE invented the light bulb. If not for that we would have had no vacuum tubes, thus no transistors, thus no ICs, thus no IMPs, thus no Internet. Or maybe its because GE Information Systems ran the largest internet in the world until the Internet surpassed it in size a couple of years ago. Or maybe they don't. Why don't you ask them why they need it. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
