I think you missed my point. "Back in the day" SRI and NSI handed out address space in any size chunk you could imagine asking for. How much of this isn't used (My guess: atleast %60 is unused). How many of these companies do not exist anymore? If you charged $1 for any allocation that wasn't being announced (the quickest way to figure out if its being used), then any block that wasn't paid for could easily be reassigned. Unless we want to go IPv6, the only solution to running out of address space is to get the space back that is assigned to non-existant companies. -- Steve Rubin, Packet Monkey & Pilot - [email protected] - http://www.tch.org/~ser/
