Any time a network is caught announcing non-allocated address space, the registry should bill them accordingly. If they refuse to pay, the registry should yank their ASN. That would be strong encouragement to do the right thing.
Other than making it difficult for people to figure out WHOIS using that ASN, "yanking" an ASN's registration has little practical effect. You can use an un-allocated ASN almost as easily as using an un-allocated address block.
The registries, ARIN/RIPE/APNIC should announce the offending block
could someone please explain the benefit of turning the registries into internet police forces? i really don't understand how this could *realistically* solve this problem, and i can imagine plenty of ways that this could become a bigger problem in itself
themselves and shunt it to null0. If the offender announces a /18 then they should announce theirs as 2x/19s and thereby override the bogus /18.
and the offending party will announce 32 /23s.. what will this solve? regards, michael -- e: michael@ele-mental.org c: +1.614.260.6716 u: www.ele-mental.org Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn
