If everyone who had 30+ inaggregable IPv4 prefixes replaced them with 1 (or even 3) IPv6 prefixes… As a bonus, we could get rid of NAT, too. ;-) /me ducks (but you know I had to say it) Yeah, just when we thought Slammer / Blaster / Nachi / Welchia / etc / etc had been eliminated by process of "can't get there from here"... we expose millions more endpoints...

No ducking here. You forgot Nimda. Do you have an example from the last 10 years of this class ?
Oh? Anything hitting portmapper (tcp/135), or CIFS (tcp/445), or RDP (tdp/3389 -- CVE-2012-0002 ring any bells?). The vulnerabilities never stop. We just stop paying attention because most of us have blocked 135-139 and 445 and 3389 at the border long ago. Now granted that 80/443 (server-side) are more dangerous these days :) But that doesn't eliminate the original risks. These are ports that were originally open by default... and if you "don't" have a perimeter policy, you're "wrong" (policy, compliance, regulation, etc). Not to mention that PCI compliance requires you are RFC1918 (non-routed) at your endpoints, but I digress... Jeff
