Do you know if any RIRs want to provide registration service for LISP EID space? Have you asked any RIR for a cost estimate? As you may know, my opinion is the LISP mapping service is far from ready for Internet-scale use. It would require RIR policy proposal to cause them to begin allocating address space for LISP. The RIRs may guess how much money they would spend on doing it, and you would be amazed how much time and money the RIRs can spend on something that seems to be simple (and probably should be.) I think many members would be inclined to vote AGAINST spending resources on LISP registration services at this time. You might also find that for-profit entities could actually provide service cheaper than the non-profit RIRs. If ARIN was the sole source of domain names, I am sure they would cost a bit more than godaddy.com. I believe the community thinking in this area is seriously flawed. With respect to registration costs, your goal should be that it is inexpensive, not that it is forbidden to make a profit from providing the service. -- Jeff S Wheeler <[email protected]> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts _______________________________________________ lisp mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lisp
