this was the original ARIN proposal 2005-1, which could not reach consensus. The last time around it was re-worked to add more restrictions and again failed because other folks felt it was too restrictive. There are actually two issues:
1) the high cost of renumbering in a large organization
Why should they renumber, if it's their own block?
As in, PI ?
2) multi-homing for network reliability and resiliency
Where's the problem here? Someone who can afford and establish a case for _real_ multihoming can get an ASN and thus an assignment.
No. Unless you relax the rules for ASN and then *oh gosh* you have a ASN size problem.
Like was already said - loosening the ASN handout rules needs changes in assignment rules, too. But that's for years to come.
No. Adress space and routing policy are diferent entities. That's why LIRs don't automagically get an ASN.
Yours, Elmi.
