It occured to me that if we have an ISP or a provider that suddenly goes out of business. Our service will cease at that point. Now if I LIKE HAVING those services I would VERY quickly acquire them from ANOTHER provider, preferring they be someone NOT in danger of ceasing to exist anytime during my NEW contract. At that point I would most certainly have new circuit orders, and have to renumber my network to match the new IP space that my new provider just gave me.
It would be the same as discontinuing your current service and changing providers would it not? When you do, you always have to renumber your equipment that must must public addressing. Isn't that why Enterprises often use NAT/PAT within their network and number all private devices using the reserved addresses wherever possible? Am I still missing the point? -----Original Message----- From: Howard C.

I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong.
