I also think the registries should actually be registries and not try to be the Internet's mommy.IMHO it is part of an IP registry's job to make sure that applications for IP address space meet the publicly agreed upon criteria. And if that criteria says that you need to justify the quantity of addresses you receive, it may be mommy work but it is necessary work. But I want to know why ARIN cannot simply issue an appropriately sized portable block of addresses to anyone who is legitimately multihomed? Why can't ARIN maintain a register of companies who are multihomed and tag their IP allocations, of whatever size, as "portable". I suppose we could sidestep Sprint and use the swamp addresses which Sprint filters on a /24 boundary. But why can't we just carve off a chunk of 214/8 and "register" it to organizations who need portable space in chunks smaller than /19? This just makes too much sense to me.
Michael, Could you define "legitimately multihomed" please? Kim
