Re: Encapsulation X25 over IP

[Philip Smith <pfs at cisco.com>]

Hi Aboubacar,

Your upstream ISP should not be denying you address space if you can 
justify your requirements. There is NO shortage of IPv4 address space, so 
the sooner that some people stop pretending there is a shortage the better. 
(Distribution of IPv4 address space is carefully documented by APNIC, ARIN 
and RIPE NCC, but  there is no shortage.)

If your upstream refuses to give you address space even if you can justify 
it, you have two courses of action. As you observed, Guinea comes in under 
the RIPE NCC region - so apply to become a Local Internet Registry and you 
will receive your own address space to work with as you require. The second 
course of action you have is to change your upstream ISP (harder to do, but 
you after all are the customer, and they should pay attention to your 
requirements).

I hope this helps!
