Therefore, Citylink need to get a hold of some address space from ISI. I've had a cursory look around the ISI website, and it wasn't obvious who to talk to, so if somebody can direct me in the right direction, I'll get things moving.
Any feeling on the required address range? I think it's desirable to get a single numbering scheme going on Citylink (ie, all devices numbered out of a single IP range) independant of whatever exchanges get overlaid on top. This means we'd need ~70 numbers immediately, and the network is growing at the rate of 3-5 connections a week, so I'm thinking something like a /22 would be desirable? Does ISI do bigger blocks than /24's?
I had some discussion with Bill Manning a while back - I forwarded most of
his replies back to the list at the time, but I will mail you copies
(out-of-band).
Bill was happy to give us a class C network - you will need to take up
with him as to whether a /22 is appropriate.
To summarise, this is to number the existing "WIX" network - I take it
that there is little interest in a separate network for ISP peering.
That's fine :)
