Hi Tony,
If there's plans for ADRC to transition all BGP endpoints to 44.31/16, then can we please have input into how that transition would be achieved. For me, I have a massive renumbering job to do if/when that time comes, with several pieces of key amateur infrastructure relying on stable addressing, involving configuration of well over 200 individual IPs (mostly Echolink proxies).. I would certainly need a temporary overlap of ranges to pull this off with minimal downtime.
There's not an official plan, but I do agree with Chris that it's a good idea to transition to 44.31/16. At this time, there's only a request to move into that space, not a mandate of any kind.
With that in mind, and in support of some better management practices, perhaps you can make a plan with Chris to make that transition? I don't see a reason why having an overlap for a period of time would be a problem at all.
Let us know what you think, Rosy
