35. EC, Oct.1999Mirjam Kühne 35 Global Aspects All addresses are global Co-ordination among RIRs and IANA Dependent on topology –one backbone? –Local connection? IANA does not allocate addresses directly

36. EC, Oct.1999Mirjam Kühne 36 Interaction with other Technologies Difference to dynamic dial-up? –addresses don’t move, user moves Co-operation with Telco Operators and ETSI –started –continue in the future
