It should be of no surprise to anyone that a number of the remaining prefixes are something of a mess(somebody ask t-mobile how they're using 14/8 internally for example). One's new ipv4 assignments are going to be of significantly lower quality than the one received a decade ago, The property is probably transitive in that the overall quality of the ipv4 unicast space is declining... The way to reduce the entropy in a system is to pump more energy in, there's always the question however of whether that's even worth it or not. joel Mirjam Kuehne wrote:
Hello,
After 1/8 was allocated to APNIC last week, the RIPE NCC did some measurements to find out how "polluted" this block really is.
See some surprising results on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/content/pollution-18
Please also note the call for feedback at the bottom of the article.
