Is this right? It seems almost a chicken and egg thing to get the address space and ASN. Can someone explain the process to me in plain English?=20 It seems I have to justify my address space as it exists now to get new address space.=20 To get an ASN I have to have the quandary exist where I have access to two or more providers and need to BGP4 to/from them. So I have to invest in the infrastructure and get the feeds and then wait until I get all the ARIN stuff lined out? I'd much prefer to be prepared when the equipment and feeds come together since that investment is greater and would be less desirable to be without function (hardware and feeds not working for me and indirectly making money).=20 ... or am I just screwed up and confused? ____________________________________________________________ Michael Butler, Texas GulfNet, | www.tgn.net =20 908 South Brooks, PO Box 2089 | Voice 409-798-NETT Brazoria, TX 77422-2089 | FAX 409-798-6398 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
