DHCP - you bet. Interstingly enough, there was a recommendation at one point to have DHCP address assignment free, but charge $3 for a piece of paper with a static IP address. Then someone else suggested a competitive market model was needed, with multiple static-IP-address-on-paper vendors to allow the market to produce the most efficient paper static address producers. A fraction of the $3/address would then go into an allocation fund. This allocation fund (until congress gets involved) would be then be used to lower the cost of cookies at NANOG.

Connectivity at NANOG 13 ------------------------ Bring your laptops and cables! We will have over 400 ports available plus wireless connectivity including 40 wired tables. If you need to configure your firewalls in advance...
Address space: 207.75.182.0-207.75.183.0
We will also have a small number of PCs running a flavor of unix in a terminal room down the hall.
We will have IPv6 connectivity, IPv6 DNS, and a Squid web cache server on site.
DHCP?

Great. So ARIN will eventually be getting involved with IP assignments at NANOG too, eh? :) Louie --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Lee Netcom On-line Communication Services, Inc.

A quick estimate of the number of dollars generated on this scheme vs number of cookies is of concern. Could this be just another scheme where the bulk of the funds end up in "administrative fees" with little benefit going to the poor staving people waiting for their cookies. I think I need to call 60 Minutes, or is this more Dateline fare? jerry
