Let's assume you have a seperate entity in your company, which operates in a different geographical region under it's own AS and routing policy. Only one company (the holding for instance) is an LIR in the current situation.
How do you solve this at the moment iin IPv4-land ?
Good question. Isn't the normal answer to open a separate LIR for the separate business unit?
Sometimes it is not that case. For example, there could be one entity (LIR) which serves with the same staff (one business unit; limited resources) both commercial and academic customers using different boxes, IPs and ASes and (sometimes the most important) funds, which (all) due to whatever reason(s) which is beyond the scope of this thread, could not be mixed together. Opening a separate LIR is either an abuse of current policy (*) or unnecessary waste of time and money. (*) And let me remind that this abuse is necessary only for ipv6 (which we should promote). It seems that in ipv4 world people either do filters based on route objects or use fixed /24 size. Both options give some flexibility in announcing routes smaller then allocation.
