Re: IP network address assignments/allocations information?

randy,

just because routers meltdown from leaks and mis-configurations is not a
reasonable justification for ARIN's tight policies on IPv4 allocations,
which kim stated earlier was to keep space aggrigated for router memory
requirements, adding speed and processing power to that definition still
does not justify the strict policy decisions.
