Agreed. The notion of locally-unique address space would have some application in this respect - perhaps even with some kind of registry - but that's probably taking the idea too far. Maybe we will end up with something like that when we get stuck between full allocation of IPv4 addresses and the threat of IPv6. Who knows?
The idea of locally-unique address space certainly appeals but I don't believe it should come from the rfc 1918 space. That's *private* address space - Citylink isn't private. If we're going to start running a complex system on Citylink then someone will need to manage the address space, allocation of private AS numbers, DNS for the locally-unique address space etc. That looks to me like a set of services that should be provided by Citylink themselves. -- Mailto:Andy.Linton(a)netlink.co.nz Tel: +64 4 916 5312 Post: Netlink, PO Box 5358, Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand PGP public key: http://www.pgp.com/keyserver/pks-lookup.cgi -- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
