Uh huh. The numbers are clear: 99.99% of the time it works. The other 0.01% of the time you're screwed and had better pray the user is one of the ones you can afford to lose. Unicast TCP breaks too, but it has the virtue of being fixable 100% of the time.
I love the wry humor on the nanog list. R's, John PS:
If you read what Joe wrote, he doesn't currently have an AS number or employ BGP with his Internet providers. Extrapolate for his IPv4 assignment situation and the /24 announcement barrier.
Assuming he has his own address space, why couldn't he just tell them what the IPs are and ask them to announce it, like any other customer does?
