Rob: I infer from the various messages that have followed the latest RIPE hostcount that there is some interest in the networking plans of the JANET community. The message below describes one of the things that has been done. There are others in hand and being considered. If you like, I'll be happy to give a short talk at the next RIPE meeting about our plans, and the challenges we are facing. Some of these challenges are unique to our community (or are you running 'yellow book' too? :-), but others are I think general. Anyway, I'd rather give a talk than enter into discussions on the mailing list. Comments welcome, Phil (p.jones@jnt.ac.uk) ----- Begin Included Message -----
