Re: EU Official: IP Is Personal
Hank Nussbacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wouldn't be suprised if in a few years some EU/US law mandates IP number portability, just like people have with their cellphones. Imagine what that will do to the routing tables. How many /32s can we get into the RIBs these days? :-) The next obvious step would be complete street address portability, for all kinds of usage, like telling the cab driver where to go to get you home. Once you have lived on 1234 Main Street, it should be yours! -Hank --Johnny

Re: Can a Customer take their IP's with them? (Court says yes!)
Fergie (Paul Ferguson) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Regardless, this is not a telephony issue (Can I take my cell number with me?), as the courts as seem disposed to diagnose these days, but rather, a technical one insofar as the IP routing table efficiency. No, this is not about taking a phone number. This is about a someone moving to a new apartment in a different part of town, and asking the court to force the owner of the old house to reassign the old street address to him. --Johnny
Re: ... WWIU / Orientation
| From now on, we should make this a primary distinction between switch | and a router: If a device has vertical line cards, it is a router, if | horizontal, it is a switch, unless there are two or more vertical slots | within any horizontal slot plane, then it is, in fact, a router. | | How does that sound? Like the start of some new RFC :-) which way is up? perhaps you had better state the problem in terms of X,Y,Z coordinates at a minium. Adding the fourth vector, time, may be useful as well; e.g.... it was a router last night... maybe polar coordinates are better situated for distance vector protocols? --bill --Johnny
