| Several weeks old info. I am suprised that ICANN and or RIPE haven't made | the operational announcement to the NANOG or other lists. Not to invite a flamewar or anything, but it's not really an operational issue until some operator tries to route whatever they are allocated by the IRRs (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC). None of the IRRs (or ICANN) can really make ANY promise whatsoever that their allocations are globally routable. (This will be particularly true of ever-longer prefixes as they are allocated by various IRRs. IOW, who cares if the IRRs hand out /32s or /128s - just so long as people understand that the odds of global reachability in both steady state and during convergence [*] decrease roughly proportionally to the length of the prefix). So, this could well have been the first time an operator has found an operational issue with 80/8 that is relevant to the NANOG audience. :-) | Thanks for posting it to NANOG You're very welcome - hey, first public-act-of-smd in many days.
