N companies can have up to N(N-1) interconnections, which requires either: a) double NAT, with a single address range for all interconnects b) no NAT, with a unique address range for each interconnect c) very careful management of the RFC1918 space such that no two companies talking have a collision d) globally unique addresses for each participant using RIRs (c) simply doesn't work in reality, (b) is no better than (d), and (a) is beyond ugly not to mention incompatible with many apps.
d) is basically having the Internet community pay - both in real money for staffing at RIRs and in scarce IP address space - for no benefit in return at all for a function that those N companies should have an institution perform for them via c). Regards, -- Niels.
