I doubt Halo 2 would show anything on most stats as its relatively low bandwidth. However, Half-Life 2 I believe did for some larger residential operators. Many moons ago when Doom 2 was released we busied out modems so we could get more bandwidth over to the US to get it downloaded quicker thou

Hi there, If I understand your predicament correctly, our company has a similar situation. We have two locations from which we need to advertise routes from our AS, but our internal link between these two locations is a very high cost satellite link. This means we can not afford to advertise our

We currently have two /19 that we advertise on a single ASN. A client would like to obtain /23 or /22 from us. This is not a problem, except that their primary internet provider is someone else, other than us. I think that they would need to have their own ASN to advertise their portion of our ip

Assuming that this is in North America (this is NAnog, afterall), they should probably apply to ARIN for both the /22 (if they can justify that much space) and the ASN, or, get the ASN from ARIN and the space from you. As of policy 2002-3, ARIN will assign /22s to end users that have need of a uniq
