[WISPA] Leasing IP classes?
Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone knew of companies that lease class C's to small ISP's looking for the ablity to announce the leased IP classes as their own As to avoid being locked in to a specific provider. Please let me know If you know of anyone.

Arin isnt an option I don't think because these guys arent multi-homed yet. - Jeff On 4/25/06 9:35 AM, David E.

Please let me know If you know of anyone. I can't think of anyone that does that, mostly because it'd be a pain in the ass to get those IPs routed properly. There are just too many BGP speakers out there that don't properly handle un-aggregated BGP announcements, and do other silly things. Your best bet, if you're big enough, is to get a direct allocation from ARIN (assuming you're in the United States or Canadia). If you're multihomed, like you probably should be :D you can get allocations as long as a /22 (four class Cs). If not, I think the minimum allocation is a /20 (sixteen class Cs).

And I take it they're not yet big enough to be able to justify a /20 allocation? Yeah, in that case, they'll probably have to live with IP space from their upstream provider for the time being. Due to the problems it can cause (weird routing issues, BGP hiccups, polluting the global routing table) I doubt too many ISPs will lease you just IP space. I know I wouldn't do it... :) They might be able to talk the current upstream into doing something like this (presumably they've already given a dedicated allocation for now, since they're current customers) and letting you retain that space if you later switch ISPs, but even that's pretty darned iffy.
