Suggestion: It would be a good idea to pick up on the ASnnn aliases used in the days of the NSFnet. The suitable place to host these aliases would be the registries, since they are the ones handing out ASNs and are in the position of being able to enforce a pretty obvious requirement: Anybody injecting routes into the Net -must- have functioning trouble email addresses. (Some months ago, somebody (apparently both global and international) were leaking some of our routes. No normal alias worked and the problem didn't get resolved until given-name@... came back after the weekend.) To avoid wasted efforts, the registries should preferably coordinate to mirror the aliases, so that everybody would be reachable as ASnnn@any-registry.net Thus, all of AS286@ripe.net AS286@internic.net AS286@apnic.net would reach the trouble(some) folks in EUnet. This would place an extra burden on the registries, but ASN assignment shouldn't be taken lightly anyway. -- ------ ___ --- Per G.
