Getting back on-topic - how can this be? I thought only service providers

Its my understanding that large company (or large university) can
become LIR too - they'd have to show that they have complex network
infrastructure with multiple semi-independent departments and/or subsidiaries 
with main company's IT department serving as network

provider for those units.

However there is a difference between company becoming LIR and becoming 
member of ARIN and paying annual membership fee (based on network size) and 
company applying for single IPv6 assignment (as per 2005-1) and not having to 
pay membership fee then (only one-time fee for assignment) and not being able 
to participate at ARIN as a member.

Tho from what I have read of 2005-1 this requires a AS .  That
requires a memebership unless there is some loophole around
that I have not seen ?

Can you site the section in 2005-1 that allows an entity to
pay the onetime fee & not have to pay the yearly fee ?

White listing is NOT what was being discussed .  Tho is can be

And neither was Static addressing .  Filtering was being discussed

Query ,  How is it determined that the address in question is
dynamic or not ?  Who/how/what makes that determination ?
This is the core of my concerns .

If I remeber correctly the "Dig Safe" program will give me the

Best tape to use is masking tape it usually will not leave a heavy
residue .  Just do not leave tape on them in storage any opf the
tapes will leave residue & the tangs take a memory .

But I also liked another type of hood that did not use a
complete surround covering over the tang .  It was more of a thin
spring tang same width as the rj45 tang & rising from the rear of
the hood which went over the top of the rj45 tang & about half way
down its length .  But even it had some of the bad properties of
the rj45 tang it could bend & then it caught on everything or
just broke off .  Tho it made the last slot near the bottom easier
to contend with .  Twyl  JimL

I have to agree with Mr. Shore here .  Mac addresses are NOT
