I'm not sure that 198.32.0.0/16 was ever advertised. EP.NET runs a registry for exchange points and other people that Bill feels like helping out and assigns from that number range; since the /16 covers many varied applications and organisations all over the planet, it seems unlikely that a /16 would do anything useful.
I have no problems reaching FLAG.EP.NET (198.32.4.13), DOT.EP.NET (198.32.2.10), both of which live in subnets numbered from 198.32.0.0/16 and administered by EP.NET directly.
Hi Joe, Yes, I'm aware that 198.32.0.0/16 is really only a bunch of swampy /24 allocations -- mea cupla. In any event, flag.ep.net seems to be reachable now, so things are good again: route-views.isc.routeviews.org> sho ip bgp 198.32.4.13 BGP routing table entry for 198.32.4.0/24 Paths: (9 available, best #9, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Not advertised to any peer 6079 3356 1239 4555 198.32.176.126 from 198.32.176.126 (207.172.6.3) Origin IGP, metric 1, localpref 100, valid, external Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:59 2007 14361 7385 1239 4555 198.32.176.10 from 198.32.176.10 (66.36.224.11) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:58 2007 174 1239 4555 198.32.176.131 from 198.32.176.131 (154.54.0.8) Origin IGP, metric 2000, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 174:21000 174:22013 Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:57 2007 2497 1239 4555 198.32.176.24 from 198.32.176.24 (216.98.96.13) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:52 2007 4513 3356 1239 4555 198.32.176.48 from 198.32.176.48 (209.10.12.156) Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, external Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:18 2007 1280 174 1239 4555 198.32.176.3 from 198.32.176.3 (149.20.65.193) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 1280:380 Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:11 2007 3557 1280 174 1239 4555 198.32.176.4 from 198.32.176.4 (192.5.4.246) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 3557:380 Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:08 2007 2914 1239 4555 198.32.176.14 from 198.32.176.14 (129.250.0.2) Origin IGP, metric 5, localpref 100, valid, external Community: 2914:420 2914:2000 2914:3000 65504:1239 Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:23 2007 7575 1239 4555 198.32.176.177 from 198.32.176.177 (202.158.192.19) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external, best Community: 7575:1003 7575:2019 7575:6003 Last update: Sun May 13 22:03:11 2007 route-views.isc.routeviews.org> Thanks, - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.1 (Build 1012) wj8DBQFGR9M4q1pz9mNUZTMRApQ1AJ0QQwy8+VG4oG5e/sGGNnyKTEFNtwCaAlqb fFEqU5qhPuxmeVOV/qgpwCc= =GdQd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
