No offense Lee, but OH MY GOD, can we *PLEASE* drop this now? If 69/8 is unreachable by some people, it's REALLY NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
If 10% of the internet cannot reach 69/8, then it's the problem of that 10%. I'm sure when people cannot reach it they'll eventually figure it out on their own if they don't read nanog.
Avleen, Stop for a minute and realize that 69/8 isn't just given to web-hosters. If that were the case, I'd agree with you. 69/8 is being given out to ISPs that have to feed companies and end users. This has an impact on the ISPs in question, as they cannot provide as "good" a service as their competitor because various networks are dropping their packets to the floor. Do I complain? Do I add my own speach to this never ending thread? Yes. I do. I need solutions to what isn't just a technical problem, but a business problem. If it doesn't get fixed, I will lose money. I personally am greatful for all the suggestions, work, and communication existing on the list and off-list concerning this problem. -Jack
