A company like IBM is big enough to have their own global infrastructure and can also get a TLA as they are an ISP for theirselves most probably. Same goes for companies like Microsoft, Apple or non-computer related: Shell for instance.
True, but they will want to keep the private network hardware on their backbone seperate from the public traffic. I suppose that they could take seveal /48's some for internal use and some for customer use. Call me old fassion but it seems a bit much to have that microwave with a registered global address. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
