<div>From my perspective, if the smallest thing they will give you
is a /20, take a /20. That gives you space for possible future
growth, and makes address management less of a headache.</div>

<div>However, they will also say you need an IPv6 plan. You may be
able to get a PI /48 from ARIN or a PA /48 (or /56) from
AT&T. You’ll tell me that a /48 is vastly more than you need
(it gives you 65K /64 prefixes as opposed to 1024 or 4096
individual IP addresses). I’d say take it anyway, and upgrade
your business to be operable on either IPv4 or IPv6. Heck, I
have a /48 at my house, out of which I am currently using a
single /64. The IPv6 capability will be useful in coming years;
if nothing else, it gets you up to speed on the differences
between IPv4-only and version-agnostic software, you can make a
practice of writing version-agnostic software for your
customers, and you can make a business of upgrading people’s
software from IPv4-only to version-agnostic. </div>

<div>If you really like private addresses, you can use a ULA for
that purpose (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/">https://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/</a>).
That’s not for use behind a NAT, as you don’t need it; if
something needs to be globally accessible, you give it a global
address, and if you want to give it an address that you
intentionally don’t advertise elsewhere, you use the ULA within
your network.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello all, I will
be brief as possible. I need assistance with either
requesting a policy change or an appeal/exception to
current policy.<br>
<br>
I started business in 1995 with 4 Class C's assigned
from Integra ( /22 ). I am a full service IT provider
offering pretty much everything but connectivity. Over
the years I have developed my network such that I am
using my IP's very efficiently. Host headers on most
web sites, internal IP's whenever possible, and of
course certain thing must be static, single IP's on a
host.<br>
<br>
I am moving in less then a year to a new office, and
taking the opportunity to get on the ATT fiber backbone
rather then 4 bonded T-1's from Integra (which is very
expensive) Integra tells me I can not take my IP's with
me, and ATT tells me the largest block they will give me
is a single class C.<br>
<br>
So I went out to Arin and setup my account and requested
a /22 which was denied because the smallest block they
will give a single homed ISP is a /20 (4096 ip's)<br>
<br>
I feel like I am being penalized for using my IP's
efficiently!! As I see it, I only have one option:
Rework my network so every site I host uses it's own
dedicated IP so that I can justify needing a /20...in
which case I feel I would be doing the internet
community a disservice. <br>
<br>
Can anyone provided feedback on how to better resolve
this? How do I start getting the policy changed? Is
there a process I can go through to get an exemption?
Would excalation my request be of any use?<br>
<br>
With the IP 4 space dwindling, wouldn't it be a better
policy to allow small business to get only what they
need?<br>
