Especially with the rapidly depleting v4 space, how are SP's handling these requests? Is it safe to assume customers requesting larger blocks are willing to pay a premium? How much are SP's charging and what are the thresholds? What are default allocations based on? (ie: size of the circuit, type of product, etc...) Are SP's requiring more strict justification for said assignments?"Larger than default"? There are rules about allocating IP space, it has to do with justification, not default sizes. Charging for them means you are likely a spammer or provider catering to spammers, and lying on your justification forms. Hopefully these types of providers will go away as space gets tighter and justifications are scrutinized more. -- TTFN, patrick
I'll point out that Comcast charges $5/month for a static IP on their business circuits. If you want more addresses, they charge even more. This is not uncommon practice. I agree with you that it's undesirable, but, it's not uncommon among the access networks. Owen
