Re: Verio Decides what parts of the internet to drop

It's a PITA and not the cleanest of methods, but until all the backbones quit filtering /24s it's what we have to do. The other alternative (and we've considered it) is to obtain a much larger space directly from ARIN and burn the unused space. Then we could remove the last bit of static routing and use BGP4 as we should.

Wouldn't it be nice if backbones got around to simply charging for annoucements and quit this arbitrary filtering? Tony
