That's a non-solution that will never happen. How many networks are going to trust joe somebody to inject null routes into their backbone? Will UUNet/Sprint/C&W/Level3/etc. trust me or Rob to tell them what's a bogon and what's not? I really doubt it. They might have an easier time trusting their local RIR, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
Well... I am pretty sure Tier1 backbones are up-to-date on the bogon filters :-) As we've already discussed, it's really the smaller networks with outdated bogons or with admins who don't know what they are doing..
Several people pointed that out earlier. Botched / outdated firewall configs may be a bigger problem than BGP filters. For a glimpse at why, see http://groups.google.com/groups?q=69.0.0.0%2F8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search
Yup..
I know some writers watch nanog for potential stories. Wake up guys, this should be one...if not for the news value "ARIN gives out unusable IPs, future of the Net in question", then at least for the public service value of getting the word out that bogon filters need to be maintained and kept up to date or they do more harm than good.
No kidding.. I think we are just going around the circle/preaching to the choir on the same topic here.. Is this like what... 3rd time we are discussing this whole 69/8 issue :-D? Really, someone needs to get out this 69/8 issue on the press.. Just a thought.. heh -hc
