Hi all.
Just got a notice from our network person that he'd received an email
from Chris notifying him of a renumbering of our allocated segments.
Since I couldn't remember a discussion here (please excuse me if this
has been discussed before), I just wanted to raise a few question - out
of curiosity.
We currently have a few /24 allocations within the 44.141.0.0/16
regional block (Norway). I think two or three of the /24 blocks are
published via BGP.
In the email, we're requested to renumber, and move the BGP announced
segments over to the 44.31.0.0/16 (in the US regional /9 block). I
don't think we've heard anything about the other addresses in
44.141.0.0/16 which are not BGP announced?
I guess I'm curious about the rationale behind this decision? I think
efficiency was stated, but I really can't see any big difference in
having a /24 announced either here or there? Since we don't have the
same upstream providers as our neighboring nets, there won't be any
aggregation benefits (?).
Is the plan to also deprecate the national and regional allocations?
For our part, quite a few of the devices with 44-addresses are on
mountain tops (beacons, remote receivers, sensors, etc.), but we have a
4 month window, starting in a months time, to get up there and do the
renumbering. No big deal..
Just curious what the thoughts are..
