It's not, people are just lazy and since "nobody owns the internet man", or maybe "it's all a bunch of tubes" there's nobody to force people to be good actors. Perhaps it's time to bring back the old /19 filters that were started by sprint & such.
I was just thinking the same thing. :-)
As we push closer to the ipv4 route table limits of cisco's 6500/7600 series (with anything less than Sup720-3bxl), I suspect lots of networks are going to be forced to start doing some sort of filtering of routes beyond just refusing >24-bit networks or cisco's going to sell a lot more Sup720-3bxl's, FAN2 trays, and power supplies in the next year or two. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
