Hi Bill,
Ok, I got it now.
Well, I suppose we could concern ourselves with Lessors getting around policy
through tunnels that technically provide connections but don't carry much
traffic.
I think that words like "primary" and "majority" would be difficult to apply
and would require more thought in multi-homed environments.
However, like the routing table pollution issue, it's besides the point.
Any interested Lessor wouldn't bother, they would just purchase RIPE addresses
for this purpose.
This way they don't have to bother their lessee with nonsense tunnel
configurations.
And anyway, this would simply lock in the big networks and lucky incumbents as
the only Lessors allowed in the market.
I contend that reducing this population to big networks and lucky incumbents
isn't likely to benefit Lessees in the market.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Because that isn't the current policy. The addresses have to be
contractually attached to some network resource you sell me but I
don't have to use them with the resource. Primarily or even at all.
I talked about this in recent posts: right now someone who wants to
just be in the business of leasing addresses can meet ARIN policy by
providing a nil-cost network resource along with the addresses with
the wink-and-nod expectation that the lessee won't use it. This is the
"VPN" example. The parties would have to be a little careful with
their wording to avoid committing fraud but it's easily enough
structured.
Regards,
Bill Herrin
