Hi Steve, IIRC, multihoming was a justification for receiving a /24 instead of a /22, meaning that multihomed users could ask for less space. Single-homed users needed to be large enough to justify a /22 before they could get space from ARIN. Multihomed users still had to justify a /24 the regular way -- with utilization. Getting a /24 solely because of multihoming only applied to getting space from an ISP, not getting space directly from ARIN. As it still does. > Was this the intent or possibly an overlooked side effect of the change? Now that you can get a /24 regardless of whether you're multihomed, the multihoming language was removed.
