Jason,

I would have to disagree with that position.  In our case, it would be
exactly the opposite.  The non-RFC1918 block would replace public addresses,
therefore the same class of security policy applies.

Using RFC1918 (other then the other technical reasons given as to what it¹s
problematic) would require more uplifts of security polices, ACLs, and
network related configuration.

I think the points is it is provider by provider dependant.  If the provide
historically used RFC1918 for addressing, then perhaps in that case it would
be as you said, but this is definitely not true for providers that current
supply public space to endpoints (until we run out of course).

Regards,

Victor
