We were just allocated a /17 out of 69/8. With all off the recent traffic on 69/8 reachability problems, I asked ARIN if the allocation could come from a different block.
Their answer was basically that 69/8 (only) is where they are allocating from and that "from reading NANOG, it appears that much of the problem has been resolved."
I haven't seen any updated information that 69/8 is now working for people. Is everyone just quiet about it, or have filters actually been updated making this a non-issue?
i'm in the midst of writting a brief article about 69/8 reachability that i inted to post on /. and as a result hopefully it will become a more publically visible issue as places like news.google pick up /. articles. If you have a server that is in 69/8 that you want referenced by it, perhaps a test machine saying "your network appears to be working ok" that you want listed let me know. I also am going to allow people to submit urls for a "wall of shame" that still show 69/8 (amongst others) as something to block. obviously we won't accept messages to mailing lists that are older but anyones current "use these filters to help secure your network" pages should get listed. I encourage people who find networks that are blocking 69/8 that you get them to fix to ask them if they continue to use such filtering to subscribe to Rob's bogon-announce list that is hosted on my machine. http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/bogon-announce - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
