So to be clear - ARIN does not confer a right upon registration to exclude others from routing an address block on the Internet. Instead, the law itself confers that exclusive right as a consequence of the ARIN registration. Regardless, the registrant possesses the lawful right to exclude anyone else from using his ARIN-registered IP address on the public Internet. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
