Fixed Boundary (/29) Assignments

All,

I would agree that the idea of /29 per residential customer is nice from a
mangement
point of view but I do believe that the extra overhead for handling the 141
form
for each customer is required and that the assigned IP space should be on a
per
customer basis. As mentioned in many of the replies, customers and
management are
not aware of the RIPE IP assignement policies and need to know about this.
Unfortunaly
is has to be done and the marketing argument that competition provides as
many IPs are
the customer wishes is no solution to the problem.

I've been handling IP addressing for a few service providers over the last
4-5 years and
I do believe that IP addressing should be done on an indiviual basis that
corresponds to
the customer profile, even for residential customers.
