You could also call it unreasonable customer requirements. If you spend a /40 on linknets you can have 2^24 of them. A /40 is nothing to an ISP. An enterprise would be a bit more cramped, but any enterprise needing more than say 10000 linknets should probably get an AS-number and some provider-independent space -- and then there's plenty of space again. /Benny _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
