You presume that no-one is doing that (hint: many of us are), and that any action is taken (if so, none is visible). Kai's post is not fiction. Guess what? A lot (not all) squatters get caught quite nicely in those "evil" prefix length filters. If you HAVE an allocation and for some reason just announce deaggregates, to a third party you look *just* like the black hats. How does this help your reachability while you're grazing on the commons? Think about that for a second before the knee jerks up. Cheers, Joe -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
