RE: Allocation of IP Addresses

  • From: Jim Fleming

How much attention is paid to how blocks are being used...???

Why doesn't the Internic require that Class A delegates, use those
addresses rather than addresses from other parts of the spectrum...???

For example, why are name servers allowed in 192 and 204...as shown below...???
It would be easy for the Internic to have a policy that does not allow the following...

All 3 registries have essentially the same policy with respect to the
growth of new blocks.  However, given InterNIC's load, the end effect
may be different (remember, InterNIC receives approximately 50 new ISP
requests per week -- how much space should they reserve for new ISPs?).

Your proposal is?  If you say charging for address space, please
explain what would stop deep pocket companies from buying up all the
address space?
