Eric makes two very important points here but its the overall "rush" that I wonder about. This thing seems to have come up quite suddenly and appears as if it's being implemented as we speak. A program with such far reaching effects should not be taken lightly. One need only look at the state of the domain name system to realize that its what we haven't thought of that will bite us later....
One: How will portable/non-portable address space be effected. Does the mean that if I have non-portable address space, I can charge customers for address space, and if it is portable, they have to pay $2500 per /24 to have it registered to them?
That would not go over well. <G>
Two: If an entity has address space already and does not require more space, do they have to pay the fee or is this going to be grandfather claused? I know with domain names it was not that way, but that is only 50 bucks, $2500 or more could put a lot of business off the net.
Again, this could put an unbearable financial hardship on many companies if not grandfathered...
I guess this will make the routing table size come to a sudden and screaching halt!
Doubtful but it certainly will slow things down. But remember, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer in business as well. Robert J. Fehn Sr.,President and CEO Jersey Cape Information Systems Inc. http://www.jerseycape.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
