OLD> Move into the 206.10.0.0 - 206.15.0.0 New> What I meant to say was: 210.0.0.0 - 215.0.0.0 Which should be just over 1500 ISPs. Any ISP/NSP that can provide a good network outline, showing not only how they plan to put into pratice but show their current setup, locations, etc. will be assigned a /16 in the range above. That would give about 1200 ISPs /16s. Now, to make sure they are being conservative with their networks, routing tables, CIDR, etc. Explain to the ISP that the only way they are going to get a /16 is if they renumber their whole network. This will return a lot of larger /20 and above address space to the nic and reduce the size of the routing table on the net. Now, why can't something like this be done? Trust me, If you gave me /16, I would have all my customers re-number, re-number all my hosts, etc in about 6 months, which is about the timeline I would bive. But than again, we can go along as we do, the larger keep getting larger and the rest of us have to fight for IPs. ok, now off the soap box.
