What gives you that idea? Said providers may get allocated lots and lots of IP space, but then that's because they have many customers who _need_ IP space. Keep in mind that if an entity is not eligible for its own routable space then it needs to go to its upstream provider. Considering how many new companies are connecting to the 'net, it is should be no surprise that the backbones providing the connections need lots of space.

What makes you say that? They have tons of customers who have to have IP space that usually goes from /24 to a /27, and the InterNIC doesn't usually honor reqests for blocks of those sizes. So, they go to their upstream. If their upstream is UUNet, MCI, Sprint, etc, then they have to be able to assign them IP space. PSI, UUNet, MCI, Sprint have to play fair just like everyone else. If they don't have the use for the space, they certainly aren't going to get it. And I'd thing the aggressive SWIP policy the NIC has now would keep them from just hoarding address space for no reason. Joe Shaw - jshaw@insnync.net NetAdmin - Insync Internet Services
