Hiya all, On Wed, 23 May 2001, David R Huberman wrote: ->If the group feels that we should make distinctions between multi-homed ->requestors and single-homed requestors, that's a discussion we need to ->have. I do not understand where this perspective comes from. Singlehomed users should use PA address space. But see below... As Gert has said, and probably RIPE can confirm, we think nearly all requests are with the intention of multihoming. However, there are also "zero-homed" requesters: folks who require addresses that need to be globally unique but that will never appear in the global routing table. An example would be a management network for VPN services (the VPN users have the right to use all private IP addresses). Extranets might be another example. Whatever conclusions we arrive at, we should not prevent small appropriately sized PI assignments to these folks (I would probably support the withdrawing of future PI assignments to folks who intend to multihome - and replace them with a uniform PA Allocation policy).
