On the topic of static ip... as a Net Eng of an ISP, and seeing the pains that we have to endure with our static ip customers , I wonder if static ip customers actually inadvertently get less optimal treatment than more flexible, agile and dynamic ip customers ?
I’m saying that since over the years as I have migrated from one router to another, from one technology Ethernet/IP, mpls/ip, it’s more difficult to move those static customers subnets around, and sometimes easier just to leave them on an old router where they’ve been for years.
