None of this has anything to do with why the IPv4 /24 limit is what it is.

Good luck with your endeavors, whatever they may be.

thanks for your response. Honestly thanks for everyones reponses.

comunism is the future. IMO.

tier-1 network count is decreasing. competition is always good. while
monopoly, duopoly, triopoly is not.. I dream an earth with 1000 tier-1
networks..

capitalism give people more money than they can spend in their lifetime
with their families, but it doesnt give people happiness and health..

for example, if i were level3 or telia CEO or should I have been major
stakeholder? I would like to see 50 or 1000 more tier-1 networks competing
with us.

Money is not everything. After some time capitalist bourgeois realize that
they could not "earn" health or happiness and start spending their pennies
to charities,

because if we wouldnt believe heaven and hell and purgatory, what else we
could believe? Should we believe that after death nothing left from the
earth, we worked for nothing, we laughed for nothing, we cried for nothing,
and we married for nothing?

NOPE.

Everyone is equal, in the god's/lord's/creator's vision. You need to work
on comunism instead of capitalism..

I do not care what CFO/CTO/CEO/CXO thinks! they are more miserable than
me..! I am healthy and happy. They are not. They can not be. I just
expressed my opinions, finalized them with a bad joke. ;D

You can continue your feasibility reports, net profit margin , return of
investment calculations, but the god doesnt care IMO, and you will not care
after you are 70-80 years.old.

Best regards and wishes for you all

I guess i made myself clear.

Development is the only way. in all aspects.

I presume there would be another 50 big ASNs that belong to CDNs. And I
am pretty sure those top 100 networks can invest in gear to support /25-/27.


Volkan,

So far, you haven't presented any good financial reason those top 100
networks should spend millions of dollars to upgrade their networks just so
your /27 can be multihomed.

Sure, they *can* invest in gear to support /25-/27; but they won't,
because there's no financial benefit for them to do so.

I know from *your* side of the table, it would make your life better if
everyone would accept /27 prefixes--multihoming for the masses, yay!

Try standing in their shoes for a minute, though.
You need to spend tens of millions of dollars on a multi-year refresh
cycle to upgrade hundreds of routers in your global backbone, tying up
network engineering resources on upgrades that at the end, will bring you
exactly $0 in additional revenue.

Imagine you're the COO or CTO of a Fortune 500 network, and you're meeting
with your CFO to pitch this idea.
You know your CFO is going to ask one question right off the bat "what's
the timeframe for us to recoup the cost of
this upgrade?" (hint, he's looking for a number less than 40 months).
If your answer is "well, we're never going to recoup the cost.  It won't
bring us any additional customers, it won't bring us any additional
revenue, and it won't make our existing customers any happier with us.  But
it will make it easier for some of our smaller compeitors to sign up new
customers." I can pretty much guarantee your meeting with the CFO will end
right there.

If you want networks to do this, you need to figure out a way for it to
make financial sense for them to do it.

So far, you haven't presented anything that would make it a win-win
scenario for the ISPs and CDNs that would need to upgrade to support this.


ON a separate note--NANOG mailing list admins, I'm noting that Vokan's
emails just arrived a few minutes ago in my gmail inbox.
However,  I saw replies to his messages from others on the list yesterday,
a day before they made it to the general list.
Is there a backed up queue somewhere in the NANOG list processing that is
delaying some messages sent to the list by up to a full day?
If not, I'll just blame gmail for selectively delaying portions of NANOG
for 18+ hours.   ^_^;

Thanks!

Matt
