<TITLE>RE: [MLB-WIRELESS] ip allocation list based on suburb</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So how about we just work out what range we are going to use. And when people need an IP or a range for a DNS server they send an email through to Steve or whichever person/people take charge or allocating IP's and they just keep a list.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>With respect, don't consider allocating IP networks on the basis of </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>geography. It will not help with routing simplicity. Multiple p2p links just </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>will not align themselves with preallocated networks along netmask </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>boundaries, and the topology will likely be unpredictable until its there ... </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>%^}</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>And secondly, don't even consider geo-based routing protocols/schemas. This </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is not AX25, and we do not have the luxury of high overlap between active </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>network gateway/node areas.</FONT>
