Hi Willian. A customer who holds an ASN and is a ARIN member should not
get IP space to announce with their own ASN from the ISP provider but
directly with ARIN in all cases.
Legal risk will always exists and it is not because it exists it should
not be taken, just need to evaluated and worked.
There has been a proposal presented not much a while ago that intended
to get that separation better worded and which was still in the process
of getting feedback and improvements, but AC quickly dismissed it in a
questionable way despite there has been people interested in discussing
and improving it. A pity. There has not even been a chance to get a
improved text in that sense.
And honestly there will always be some way someone will find out to try
to circumvent rules and I don't think there will be a perfect text, but
a reasonable one that can cover most scenarios can play a important role
in reducing scenarios where resources can be misused.

Hi Fernando,
You may be missing my point. How do you differentiate in policy between:
Scenario 1: ISP A provides a T1 and a /24. ISP B provides a gigabit
ethernet. Customer routes with BGP on both but depreferences ISP A so
it never shows up in the Internet BGP tables.
Scenario 2: Pretextual ISP C (the defacto address leaser) provides a
/24 and a VPN (or virtual machine other nil-cost transit consuming
mechanism). ISP D provides a gigabit ethernet. Customer routes with
BGP on both but depreferences ISP C so it never shows up in the
Internet BGP tables.
Scenario 1 is considered reasonable and has been for the entire
lifetime of the RIRs.
Scenario 2 is the objectionable address leasing arrangement with a
tiny bit of fluff to bring it into technical compliance with ARIN
policy.
You can't tell ARIN to just exercise their judgement whether something
is defacto leasing. That creates legal risk to the organization where
they can't effectively act against the people they "know" to be
leasers.
You have to write a policy that outright breaks scenario #2 without
harming scenario #1.That's the utilization count approach. ISP A in
scenario #1 is not particularly bothered if ARIN gets a bee in their
bonnet about counting that /24 utilized. So they have to be at 81%
instead of 80%. Same difference.
ISP C in scenario #2, that's their entire business. If ARIN counts it
unutilized, they're out of business.
Get it?

Bill Herrin
