I agree with Scott. I can still get a /28 on a consumer DSL line for<br>
$25/mo and routers renumber easily. There is no burden here.<br>

</div>I would entertain up to 5, allowing a comfortable fit in a /29 before<br>
requesting ARIN space. Beyond that the logistical problems become<br>
noticeable enough to merit a direct assignment. Not so severe as to<br>
require it, but noticeable.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If provider A is connecting to a small IXP in order to connect to provider B, but the /29 is controlled by a third party (provider C) that provider A may not even choose to peer with, then provider A may be reluctant to connect. If the IXP can get ARIN space based on 3 participants, that seems like the logical cutoff point to me.</div>
