No, I understand and appreciate their contributions to the operational community. At the same time, one can never be too vigilant. It's been demonstrated repeatedly that the same people and providers we respect on the surface are actively engaged in large-scale spamming and Internet abuse behind closed doors. Please understand I'm not trying to single out you, or any of the "gweeps" with whom you associate, in particular. > FWIW, jzp is looking into the Enteract concerns listed below.

Class "B" IP BLOCK
by John Immel 03 May '03

03 May '03

Dear Nanog, I have a class "B" IP block of addresses (IP 143.170.0.0 - 143.170.255.255) for sale / lease and two questions for the group: 1) Are there any resources for buying / selling IP address? 2) Is anyone in the group interested in making an offer? I understand ARIN has made it difficult to sell IP addresses. We have fixed this problem by creating a corporation whose only asset is the block of IP addresses. Sincerely, John Immel isp(a)jimmel.com 617-869-8326 _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Re: Question about 223/8

>The reason I ask is that I was perusing RFC 3330 and noted that it >specifically stated that the basis for the reservation of >223.255.255.0/24 no longer applied and that the block was subject to >future allocation to a RIR. Yet there was an argument about it. The argument was because it wasn't clear what the original basis was for the reservation nor was it clear how things had changed. Imagine you have a device that uses lots of addresses but considers them to be sequential numbers rather than bit patterns. For instance, this device could be configured with a starting number and then dole out sequential numbers to connections based on that starting number. This is how a lot of terminal servers work. Imagine that you give the terminal server a number like 223.255.255.200 as the starting number to assign to dialup connections and that terminal server has a 32 port card installed. Then one day an engineer installs a second 32 port card. The terminal server continues to function just fine until one day when it tries to assign 223.255.255.255 to an incoming call followed by assigning 224.0.0.0 to the next call. Suddenly you have all kinds of wierdness breaking out with mysterious broadcast traffic and multicast traffic coming from the device. But it only happens for short bursts during the busiest times of the day. What the heck is going on!? Could you debug that? Would you want to debug that? Maybe that's why 223.255.255/24 should be forever reserved. --Michael Dillon

And if you traceroute from something that goes over their internap (say a verio customer, perhaps), it looks like they come from the SAME internap router, one port away... interesting....

Aside from route the blocks? A very valid question and one that all too few ISPs handle. How many ISPs have as part of their implementation/provisioning process an item called "check IP address space against IRRs"? I would suggest that written proof of ownership is not enough and that part of the legal framework each ISP has customers complete that it state something to the effect "IP address space and ASNs announced by the customer must be properly registered in one of the online IRRs such as ARIN, RADB, APNIC or RIPE and must reflect the name of the organization placing the request." -Hank

Did you read william(a)elan.net's comments on this? I don't know it for fact, but I believe he's correct, and in the case that he's right, these IP's are the property of Lucent and are, in fact, stolen.

It's Friday evening (in North America) so you know what to expect
by Richard Cox 02 May '03

02 May '03

This evening it appeared that AS 9929 (China Netcom Corporation) had started to BGP announce the netblock "HCV": 152.147.0.0/16 That netblock is assigned by ARIN to OrgName: Housing and Construction Victoria OrgID: HCV Address: GPO Box 1670N Address: Melbourne, Victoria 3001 Country: AU NetRange: 152.147.0.0 - 152.147.255.255 CIDR: 152.147.0.0/16 NetName: HOUSINGVIC NetHandle: NET-152-147-0-0-1 Parent: NET-152-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Assignment RegDate: 1991-08-23 Updated: 1991-08-23 TechHandle: TL152-ARIN TechName: Lewis, Terry TechPhone: +61 3 669 1028 Housing and Construction Victoria are most certainly not in China. Given the timing, the intention here hardly needs spelling out. Roland Verlander, who lives in Australia, very helpfully tells me: "The contact information is outdated, so I unfortunately cannot attempt to contact the original owner. I searched AUNIC for POCs with the name Terry Lewis but I only found other people named Terry Lewis. APNIC has no results on Terry Lewis." "The phone number isn't valid, all phone #s in Oz were changed to 8 digits a few years ago (that one's 7 digits) and old 7 digit numbers don't work anymore; +61 3 669 1028 would have been converted to either +61 3 8669 1028 or +61 3 9669 1028." (I checked - neither of those possibilities is a working number) "No entry in the phone book (white pages) for the name Terry Lewis. The organisation is not legally registered and I can't find a website for it, so I guess it no longer exists" From: http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=9929 Upstream Adjacent AS list for AS9929: AS4637 REACH Reach Network Border AS AS1 GNTY-1 Genuity AS7018 ATT-INTERNET4 AT&T WorldNet Services AS2516 KDDI KDDI CORPORATION AS3549 GBLX Global Crossing AS3356 LEVEL3 Level 3 Communications, LLC AS1239 SPRINTLINK Sprint AS3561 CWUSA Cable & Wireless USA AS701 ALTERNET-AS UUNET Technologies, Inc.
