If the current policy (as stated by at least one Draft RFC) is that IP address space is not owned, how can someone sell a Class B? If they are selling it, that must mean that they don't actually need it, so therefore they are obligated to return it to InterNIC. On the other side, maybe InterNIC has an obligation to take it back. What kinds of guarantees are there that if someone buys it, that they will actually be able to get and keep this Class B?
Good questions. Furthermore The NIC gives IP space out to a particulr user which is registerd via SWIP's how and who is using it. SWIP's are required if you ever want to get additional IP space. So, the seller is also put at risk at never getting additonal IP space if the buyer does not use the entire Class B in a satisfactory manner to the NIC. So, one could conclude the seller is likely a fly-by-night operation. I'd be interested in hearing otherwise ;) .stb - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
