This is certainly the theory. However, if you are a growing ISP, renumbering from PA space from another LIR to your own PI space or LIR/PA space can be - depending on how your customers are configured - pure pain.
The portability associated with PI space is also important in one other view, in that it allows the holder to switch providers quickly and efficiently. There's no tie-in of any form, and this is something which is extremely important to business.
So what you are saying are we need a better way to configure, reconfigure/change the connection to the end-users/customers? Thought IPv6 was suppose to solve that issue. -- ------------------------------ Roger Jorgensen | roger@jorgensen.no | - IPv6 is The Key! -------------------------------------------------------
