This article reminded me that I really needed to stop relying on a
tunnel over my backup DSL line for IPv6 and spend the time to get my
own ISP on the road to deploying IPv6.
Step 1: Request address space from ARIN
Took <1 day to get a reply that we'd be getting the space that day, a
few more hours to receive a /32. That was easy.
Did you have existing IPv4 space with ARIN? If so, I have to wonder if
I would get the same speedy service from ARIN as a new entrant without
existing ipv4 space? :)
I'm looking at building a large network with Ipv6 in the Los Angeles
metro area, to serve a number of small businesses via a large scale
wireless network. Essentially a large scale private WAN, with globally
routable addresses (for a VoIP/IPTV roll out later) So I'm not exactly a
traditional ISP or colocation customer, but share characteristics with
them. Does this matter? Should I just submit my request and see what
happens?
