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?
Your solution, although possible, has some drawbacks: It adds administrative burden, this was discussed here. But it also will diminish the remaining unallocated IPv4 space. I think we can modify your idea slightly. Let's assign 10 'scoring units' for a second and subsequent /32 not fulfilling HD-Ratio. It will effectively move an LIR to a higher billing category. This, plus requirement of seperate routing policy may convince people to support the new policy. Jurek
