Re: number of unaggregated class C's in swamp?

This is interesting, showing how bad assignment has been even _after_ CIDR. 5K sites migrating providers in 2 years.
I believe the NIC was assigning out of 198 before CIDR went into effect. I got a single C directly from them in late 1993, as I recall.
RFC-1366 was October 1992! And of course, an internet draft before that! Another fine example of the NIC level of competence. Bill.Simpson@um.cc.umich.edu Key fingerprint = 2E 07 23 03 C5 62 70 D3 59 B1 4F 5E 1D C2 C1 A2

No. An example that the InterNIC does not set the allocation policy. None of IANA, the NSF, ... told them that they had the right or obligation not to do so. In fact, these policy issues are still being negotiated today.

In August 1994 I applied for a /23 CIDR block. I received 2 consecutive /24's instead from a NIC other than the Internic. Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc. Fax: +1-604-542-4130 http://www.memra.com E-mail: michael@memra.com
