Hi, Anyone know whether Internic has issued an edict mandating non-portability of provider obtained 206 address space, such as /18's within this block? Thanks, Mike
Please clarify "portable" as used in this context. - Routable between different providers - Transferable intoto between ISPs - Transferable subsets - Some other meaning No delegation registry can claim any prefix portability if the first option is the meaning. The second has applicability to various proposals for a prefix market once a delegation has been made. (no Internic involvment) The third is strictly between ISPs and thier clients and has a lot to do with prefix migration (nee punching holes in CIDR blocks) and nothing to do with the Internic. And then there is your possible other meaning... For the first three, the Internic has zero sane reason for issuing any "edict" wrt portability. That is strictly an ISP issue. The fourth... ??? :) --bill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
