Here is the US, too few regulators even comprehend your arguments or |
| 39 |
the state of commercial routing and networking. If ordinary folks can |
| 40 |
get their porn in a web browser, robustly, then it is classified as a |
| 41 |
'great ISP'. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
What folk, with some measure of expertise, have, can and want to do, is |
| 44 |
often only comprehensible by third level support as these ISPs, if you |
| 45 |
get lucky. Free static IPs? Sure I like that idea, but I'd need a |
| 46 |
current link as in the US I think that was some years ago. I'll file for |
| 47 |
some, in a heartbeat, if anyone can point me to the registrar. Note:: |
| 48 |
here in the US, it may be easier and better, to just purchase an |
| 49 |
assignment, that renders them yours. I'd be shocked if you do not have |
| 50 |
to pay somebody residual fees, just like DNS. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
So sense there seems to be interest from several folks, |
| 53 |
I'm all interested in how to do this, US centric. I think each country |
| 54 |
sets policy on IP allocations from their (IP6) pool. A dozen or (2) |
| 55 |
pools, so I can test IoT gear, would be keen for my interests. For IoT, |
| 56 |
on aerial vehicles, the restrictions extreme, if you believe what has |
| 57 |
been published. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Very, Very interested in this thread. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Another quesiton. If you have (2) blocks of IP6 address, |
| 62 |
can you use BGP4 (RFC 1771, 4271, 4632, 5678,5936 6198 etc ) and other |
| 63 |
RFC based standards to manage routing and such multipath needs? Who |
| 64 |
enforces what carriers do with networking. Here in the US, I'm pretty |
| 65 |
sure it's just up to the the |
| 66 |
Carrier/ISP/bypass_Carrier/backhaul-transport company).... |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Conglomerates with IP resources, pretty much do what they want, and they |
| 69 |
are killing the standards based networking. If I'm incorrect, please |
| 70 |
educated me, as I have not kept up in this space, since selling my ISP |
| 71 |
more than (2) decades ago. The trump-china disputes are only |
| 72 |
accelerating open standards for communications systems, including all |
| 73 |
things TCP/IP. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
curiously, |
| 76 |
