The Cidr Report
by CIDR Report 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Apr 5 23:00:00 PST 2002 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/cidr-report.html for a daily update of this report. NEW: Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/cidr-report-region.html for the regional version of this report. NEW: Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/autnums.html for a complete list of autonomous system number to name mappings as used by the CIDR-Report. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to GX Networks for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to CIDR Report <cidr-report(a)cisco.com>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CIDR REPORT for 05Apr02 0) General Status Table History ------------- Date Prefixes 290302 108300 300302 108315 310302 108324 010402 108317 020402 108544 030402 108663 040402 108562 050402 108885 Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/cidr.plot.html for a plot of the table history.

Perspective on ARIN allocations to non-American entities
by Brian Wallingford 05 Apr '02

05 Apr '02

I've searched the IANA and ICANN sites, and have found no justification for what appear to be ARIN allocations to foreign entities within 66.231. Two serious UCE/hacking attempt offenders are as follows: 66.231.64.0/20 GIGA-BLK-1 66.231.128.0/20 ECON-BLK-1 Both of which appear to be completely unapologetic for their users' activities and refuse to take any action against repeat offenders (10's of thousands of attempts per week here). Why have these blocks apparently been allocated via ARIN? Am I missing something? Cheers, Brian

I see from the great speadsheet (ep-in-addrs) that there is mention of a phoenix NAP. However, I can't find any info anywhere on the web / etc about it. Does it exist, either a MAE or otherwise? What's the physical address? Who is there? Offline answers are fine. -donn

PS top level domain expiration date
by Sean Donelan 05 Apr '02

05 Apr '02

Since root zone changes are handled through different processes, this doesn't mean an imminent operational change is about to take place. Why did the PS top level domain expire on March 22 2002, while most other TLD's have expiration dates decades in the future? US-DOM in 2087, CU-DOM in 2094. Its not political, because even the old Soviet Union SU1-DOM doesn't expire until 2092.
