| Allocation Types: |
| Customer netblock (default) | A direct allocation /30 or larger to a
customer. Note that this does NOT include RADIUS-routed "netblocks". Internal systems
should use the "End-use netblock" type. |
| Static IP - Server pool | A single IP from a pool designated for
servers |
| Static IP - Cable | A single IP address from a designated pool
on the cable network. |
| Static IP - DSL | A single IP address from a designated pool
on the DSL network. Note that these are nominally in Sudbury or North Bay,
even if the customer isn't. |
| Static IP - Dialup | A single IP address from a designated pool
on a dialup RAS. |
| Static IP - Wireless | A single IP address from a designated pool
on one of our wireless networks. |
| Static pool - Servers | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one
assignment to servers in a POP. This will usually only be in Sudbury. |
| Static pool - Cable | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one assignment
to customers on cable. |
| Static pool - DSL | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one assignment to
customers on DSL. Note that individual IPs will be "assigned" to the customer's
city, but the pool they are a part of will normally be "assigned" to Sudbury or
North Bay. |
| Static pool - Dialup | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one
assignment to dialup customers. |
| Static pool - Wireless | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one
assignment to customers on one of our wireless networks. |
| End-use netblock | A /30 or larger allocation for arbitrary services (LAN
management, servers we want fully subnet-isolated, etc) |
| Dialup netblock | Netblock assigned to one or more RAS units in a POP |
| Dynamic DSL block | Netblock for (mostly residential) PPPoE DSL. Nominally
"assigned" to Sudbury |
| Dynamic cable block | Netblock for (mostly residential) DHCP cable. |
| Dynamic WiFi block | Netblock for (mostly residential) (mostly) PPPoE wireless. |
| Dynamic VoIP block | Netblock for DHCP-assigned VoIP services. |
| Static IP - LAN/POP | A single IP address from a designated pool for our
internal LANs - either at a single POP or for a VPN. |
| Static pool - LAN/POP | A pool of IP addresses available for one-by-one
assignment to our internal LAN systems or VPNs. |
| Reserve for WAN blocks | Reserve a chunk of IP space for core routers/etc. |
| Reserve for dynamic-route DSL netblocks | Reserve a chunk of IP space for
RADIUS-assigned "netblocks" from a PPPoE pool. Note that this is similar to the static DSL
pool, but IP space is to be allocated as /30 and larger netblocks, not single static IPs. |
| Reserve for ATM | Reserve a chunk of IP space for allocation to customers on ATM |
| WAN block | Individual netblock assignment for a core router. Always taken from a
block which has previously been reserved for such assignments. |
| Dynamic-route DSL netblock | Customer assignment for a RADIUS-assigned PPPoE
"netblock". Always taken from a block which has previously been reserved for such
assignments. |
| ATM block | Customer assignment for a customer on ATM. Always taken from a
block which has previously been reserved for such assignments. |
| Routing | Blocks not actually assigned to a service on their own, but which
have been routed to individual POPs- typically /24, /23, /22 |
| Master block | Our allocations from ARIN |
