I might almost be happy, except this breaks the oh-so-nice filter of 64.0.0.0/2 at borders (effectively reduces random src spoofed attacks by 25%, and covers 127.0.0.0/8 as well). Go ARIN. </sarcasm>
Urm, last time I checked, ARIN was not in the position to arbitarily decide which /8 (of the reserved /8s) it would start assigning from next. That decision is in the hands of IANA ne ICANN.
The #'s have to come from somewhere, and 64/8 is just as good as any other chunk of address space. Maybe a charge of $1/yr should be imposed for
ISPs within the APNIC and RIPE ranges of 61/8 and 62/8 respectively have already gone through trying to get filters redone by US ISPs over the past few years. --==-- Bruce.
