I've definitely noticed the steady decline in complaints in reachability. I think though at some point it will be resolved, after all all the other blocks got squared away it seems, or is that an incorrect assumption? ----- Original Message ----- From: <jlewis@lewis.org> To: "Rick Ernst" <erond@legendz.com> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 10:26 AM Subject: Re: 69/8 revisited

Their answer was basically that 69/8 (only) is where they are allocating

I wonder what they based that ASSumption on?
The thread just sort of died...and now you've revived it.
I haven't seen any updated information that 69/8 is now working for
from people.
Is everyone just quiet about it, or have filters actually been updated making this a non-issue?
I've been busy with other things, so I haven't been able to spend as much time on my 69/8 reachability project as I did the first few days. I still have a list of about 700 destinations reachable from 209.208/17 but not from 69/8. That's down from about 1000 when I did the first ping sweep. I know I've personally gotten half a dozen or so networks to update their filtering. I've also had several messages apparently go ignored (1 week with no response and no filter update), two of which are US military /16's.
A bunch of the remaining affected networks are in other countries where I'm afraid language is going to be a barrier. This issue will likely never be entirely resolved. Just hope your customers don't care about reaching the remaining affected networks.
