I think those within the organization that deploy those vehicles or are Navy SEALs might sit at different lunch tables than the guys worried about IP address collisions. ;-) -Vinny -----Original Message----- From: Rubens Kuhl [mailto:rubensk@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 10:57 AM To: Nanog Subject: Re: Rogers Canada using 7.0.0.0/8 for internal address space On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 12:28 PM, Mark Farina <markfarina76@gmail.com> wrote:
As of April 27th I have started to receive dhcp broadcast requests originating from the 7.0.0.0/8 network. Based on MAC addresses, it seems that this is communication between the Rogers border/node hardware (MAC assigned to Cisco) and my Motorola cable modem.
Is the DoD releasing this range to Rogers? Or has Rogers squatted on this space due to exhaustion of their 10/8 use? We've seen other vendors and ISP squat on previously unused ranges (the 1/8 or 5/8s). Could they not wrap their internal cable modem to node chatter in IPv6, instead of using assigned address space?
Squatting resources from an organization that can deploy F/A-18 Hornets, F/A-22 Raptors, Predator drones or Navy SEALs is probably bad to your health. Rubens
