thats probably a key part of the experiment - to find locations and systems where 1.1.1.1 is trashed. it should be routable and its about time that vendors stopped messing around in that space - hopefully this is one of the sticks that prods people to start to behave - at which point 1.0.0.0/8 will regain value too and can be used by APNIC for other requirements. as for those berating addresses used for experiments - there are MANY networking experiments going on out there , the Internet itself derives from one big ongoing experiment...and some would even say it IS still an experiment. alan On 2 April 2018 at 17:04, John R.

This looks like a willy-waving exercise by Cloudflare coming up with the lowest quad-digit IP. They must have known that this would cause routing issues, and now suddenly it's our responsibility to make significant changes to live infrastructures just so they can continue to look clever with the IP address.
Perhaps we can ask APNIC what the experiment is. They surely know that 1.1.1.1 is messed up so I doubt that Matt expects every coffee shop in the world to bend to his will.
