They have tons of customers who have to have IP space that usually goes from /24 to a /27, and the InterNIC doesn't usually honor reqests for blocks of those sizes. So, they go to their upstream. If their upstream is UUNet, MCI, Sprint, etc, then they have to be able to assign them IP space. PSI, UUNet, MCI, Sprint have to play fair just like everyone else. If they don't have the use for the space, they certainly aren't going to get it. And I'd thing the aggressive SWIP policy the NIC has now would keep them from just hoarding address space for no reason. Joe Shaw - [email protected] NetAdmin - Insync Internet Services
