Ah, I get the smiley this time. That's the indication you're not serious about the sentence you just wrote! Ah ha! So you're not sorry you've wasted a whole bunch of people's time today.
You really should make some friends Randy. You know, the type of people who might have a network, and an ASN, and be ok with you injecting their ASN in wierd places and reporting back to you what happens. You might even be able to then get them to provide data on what sensors alerted, why they alerted, and other useful things. That seems both a lot more useful and respectful than dragging random third parties into your research project by force and having them turn to 10,000 of their closest friends to figure out what's going on.
And no, I don't have a sense of humor about it. 44 messages of (mostly bad) haiku, and another 42 messages about the collateral damage of Randy's research project and how it pulls network engineers out of funerals. Even at only 10 seconds per message to see there is no operationally useful content that's 14 minutes of my life wasted today I will never get back.
The S/N ratio of the list day has been 0. I guess the up side is that is only down slightly from normal.

there is some indication that this prefix was assigned for a specific experiment, the experiment ran, results published, and then the prefix was not properly reclaimed... and so was reused for something else. sounds like a poster child for SIDR. --bill
