ARIN are confusing

[Darknight]

"Utilization" they keep using this word over and over again
But to my understanding I can not find what they class as "Utilization"
All they keep saying is be at 80% Utilization to get more ips...

But yet they dont explain cleary what they class as Utilization
This is mostlikey why people are getting away with getting ipblocks they dont need!

simpley becuse the ARIN cant workout its self what there Utilization requirments really are

If i assigned 60 ips to port 6667-6669 and 7000-7005
Then had my http port (80) to me thats full Utilization of all my ips as there useless!

The confusing thing is, to them is that classed as Utilization of 80+%?
Or are they saying you need to have more ports in use on more ips?


I find people asking if you have ARIN requierments all the time.
When I ask what they are they usaly reply "I dont know" there for I have come to the conclusion no one really knows what 80% Utilization means.

IF anyone really knows feel free to reply!

Please dont just post crap from the ARIN site about 80% Utilization As I have explained quite cleary I know there guidlines on 80%...

Should be ARIN is confusing. Although American Registry for Internet Numbers seems to be plural, it is actually a singular proper noun.

that has nothing to do with the question!

I only want to know
what they class as 80% Utilization of ip address's!

thankyou

support@arin ?

[Darknight]

ok, so no one knows

[Canuckkev]

What's this about ports? Utilization? If the IP is live and routeable on the Internet, it's in use.

[Dini]

It means you have to be using 80% of the IPs to request more. You really don't understand that?

Then we're all stupid

[AvailNetworks]

it simply means you are using 80% of the ip's assigned to you.

Lets say you have 5 usable ip's on a server

1st ip: Main shared IP
2nd ip: nameserver 1
3rd ip: nameserver 2
4th ip: SSL for domain.com
5th ip: helpdesk.domain.com

That means you have 100% utilization from the ip's you were given. So you are entitled to APPLY for more.

Lets say you want 8 more:

1: private nameserver
2: private nameserver
3: private nameserver
4: reseller dedicated ip
5: reseller dedicated ip
6: future use
7: future use
8: future use

You have to use 80% of what's already assigned to you.

[Darknight]

Thank you Avail so aslong as i have a site or something on a ip its being used

Dini I knew it ment 80% in use the whole point was what do they class as use 1 site 10 sites etc!

There we go again, the infamous 100mbps shared unmeterd ;)

[Darknight]

its the whole reason why LSComputers keeps bagging every post i make

coz i judged him on hes theary on 100mbit unmeterd

And there not shared :| the backbone is shared amonst many ppl not the port :|

100Mbit unmetered service plan

Each server is connected via private (non-shared) 100Mbit port to our 20Gbit backbone which is shared by all servers that have subscribed to unmetered service plan. The bandwidth is NOT dedicated.
Servers on 100Mbit unmetered plan can expect average 5000GB-9000GB/monthly throughput on outbound transfer (from the server to the internet) and up to 30TB/monthly throughput on inbound transfer (from the internet to the server)



21. Dedicated Bandwidth

Dedicated / non-oversubscribed bandwidth is available at $12/Mbit with minimum 30Mbit commitment


anyway acting childish over 100mbit ports dont make me look bad it makes you look bad! :)

[Wojtek]

And there not shared :| the backbone is shared amonst many ppl not the port :|
That's the same as saying:
I have a 10mbps cable service at home. 10 computers are connected to a router with an rj45 cable. So the port is not shared. Only the backbone.


A 100mbps server should allow you to transfer 33TB of data.
If it's anything less, then it's a shared connection. No matter how you look at it.

You can't just come here and start talking and expect everyone to know what you mean. It's like walking up to someone mid conversation.

Makes the board really quiet if you do that though. Plus, the ban stick can't be too far away, in which case, I want to be able to read the drama that will ensue.
