And since I wasn't clear: both "members" and "end users" have signed an RSA with ARIN and pay an annual fee while "legacy" organizations have not and do not. So, for example, the 8000 ASN-only organizations that John mentioned are paying, RSA-signatory end-users not members. They often have "legacy" addresses under a different organization name, hence the need for the AS number. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin [email protected] https://bill.herrin.us/
