An even playing field where those who can only get a few class C addresses
are not excluded from multiple peering points. I think that this is fairer
to *everyone*.
So far, we have two unilateral decisions by those powerful enough to
make it stick. InterNIC protects address space, and Sprint (and others)
protect router memory.
Isn't there a way, if the InterNIC and the larger backbone operators
cooperated, that organizations having smaller armounts of address space
would not be filtered out?
Or is it technically impossible?
