I agree on a migration period as well but I think 6 months is much too long.
Arguably, 6 months is too long when we are talking about requires a customer of one provider to renumber when moving to another, 3 months seems more appropriate here.
Consider the scenario where several /22 networks change to use another provider over the 6 month period. This could result in large amounts of space being unavailable. I doubt whether APNIC would be well disposed to issue more space in this case.
Perhaps... but the scenario I suggested, which I might add, APNIC probably won't take seriously, is that ALL of NZ renumbers. This is a fairly large task that will require much planning, and in this case, I think a 6 month transition period is reasonable.
I'd suggest that a maximum period of two months would be a better time scale.
For moving a customer, yes (although I think 3 is better), for moving all of NZ - no. Does anyone see any reason for all of NZ to renumber? I like the idea, mainly because NZ address space is a mess, and it would be a good time to clean it up, before it grows much more... beyond the point where its feasible. -Chris --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
