[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2012-5: Removal of Renumbering Requirement for Small Multihomers

[Owen DeLong]

You do realize that they can:

1.	Buy an additional /24 on the open market.
2.	Get an additional /24 of PA space from some provider and then route it.
3.	Create another organization to obtain the additional space.

All of which have the consequence you claim to be trying to avoid.

Further, why should the holder of a /16 be allowed to sell it of as /24s, but
and organization with a single /24 can't get another /24 or a /23 without
returning it?

If you want to talk about policies that support routing table bloat, there are
much better targets than this one.
