Re: [ph-nic-steer] Call for Meeting for IP Address Confederation
Just an update... I have a whole slew of replies from interested people,
so we should be pushing through. We're now arranging for the venue.

That's what we're discussing. The main requirement is that the organization
can justify the requirement to APNIC. It looks like the organization/ISP
should have at least the following requirements:
* enough current usage/growth plans/etc. to consume a /19 within xxx months
* BGP peering with the upstream providers
* upstream providers must also be doing BGP with providers/peers; in other
words, this /19 will be routed globally.

Confederation members are entitled to ASNs as part of the membership.

IPhil will not allow it. Our customers must either have their own
independent space, or renumber into IPhil space, which came from
APNIC. With this setup, we have to punch a /22 hole in the routing
tables which some network providers may filter out.

I don't know. I doubt it, though, but it has nothing to do with that
non-peering policy because that's for IX peering. In this case, Sequel
is peering as a customer.

MCI won't allow it. Doing BGP with MCI requires you to register the
network addresses that you will advertise to them, as part of their
sanity checking. Anything else will be filtered out.
