[arin-discuss] Multihomeping proof for IP space request

[Mike Dewaele]

I will give an answer from my recent experience in our acquisition of
our AS number and address space. I was made to wait until I was dual
homed.

The dual Homing requirement raises a new question for me based on ATT's
recent merger/acquisition with/of SBC. Though they have not yet merged
networks I suspect they will one day. Will this negatively impact my
dual homed status? Surely I am not the only one out here who was dual
homed with ATT and SBC before the merger.

BONUS QUESTION: How many mergers are we away from where we were 30 years
ago?

Subject: [arin-discuss] Multihomeping proof for IP space request

I have a client that will be multihoming with us and a new provider as 
soon as the DS3's are installed.  They will be dropping their current 
provider.
Can they go ahead and request their own IP space and somehow show proof 
that they will be multi-homed in 60 days or so?
The client wants to go ahead and start renumbering as they are afraid 
the current provider will abandon them when they get the news that their

contract will not be renewed.
