Hello. Getting your own class C address space and getting one from your ISP are two different things. The ISP owns the address space, the customer doesn't. If the customer decides not to use that ISP for some reason, the ISP can (and probably will) take it back. To get your own, you apply to ARIN. ARIN is interested in conservation. The ISP will probably just charge a little more (or maybe not).
All it takes for the address space to be visible to the Internet is to advertise it in BGP on its own. Ken >>> "nrf" 11/21/01 09:06AM >>> Howard, For the sake of IP address conservation, I would like to believe what you say. Unfortunately I happen to know several small companies that were able to secure entire Class C's with nary a protest from their ISP's, and yes they are all globally routed. The most addresses any one of those companies is using within that class range is 10 of those addresses - waste galore. Apparently many ISP's aren't as vigilant as they should be. ""Howard C.
