What's the cost for a /48 GUA from ARIN these days? Why pay for something that you're not going to "use"? I agree with you but as long as the RIRs charge for integers people will make up their own if they can find a way. If a small shop guy is looking at ether paying for GUA space or affording a more expensive switch that will do SNMP, he's going to get the switch. -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, 360-474-7474
