But hadn't reached enough resilience level. They technical and marketing staff considered that without multihoming they can't achieve sufficient resilience level. They don't ready to pay for Enterprise LIR because they know about PI. They asked ISP to help them to obtain PI block and AS num. With ISP Network Engineer assistance they filled in ripe-219. Network Engineer sent it to Regional Internet Registry.
I have a feeling that we are trying to solve the poor performance of some players in this business with addressing policy. The easiest and best way for a customer to get resiliency is a) Get a provider that is a Tier-1 or have multiple upstreams b) Make sure you provider have a resilient network c) Get dual (really) connections to your provider. I assure you this will be cheaper than to get your own address space, LIR status, and God knows what. If a provider can't supply the above to a customer that really have the need for multiple connections and is willing to pay for it, I would change provider anyay. - kurtis -
