There is an easy solution -- do not allocate less than /16s. This would relieve InterNIC from caring about IN-ADDRs (and will do good things for routing, too). --vadim
And how will this help reduce routing entries caused by people punching holes in existing and new CIDR blocks? As I've argued elsewhere, in the end service providers *must* start filtering something to protect their own infrastructure. Why not filter long prefixes if those prefixes were easy to determine? Relying on the registries is just a delaying action that encourages bad behavior.
Of course that violates the NIC charter as being the NIC of first and last resort.
Big deal. Regard, -drc
