i.e., it's time to turn it off. you are damaging your customers and others' customers. There is a growing number of "Tier 1" NSPs who do not dampen anymore (or at least they don't dampen their customers).
damping one's customers has never been very sane. they pay us to put up with their <bleep>. damping a customer is direct death to them. i wish all my competitors did that. damping one's peers has been another matter. this is what caused the nanog meeting prefix to be widely damped, and this is the issue i am addressing. and, if you tell us that you need to damp in order to save your routers from drowning from churn, then you had best stand up and cry "bs!" when dave and john they tell us two million prefixes is just fine. and your rir attendees had best be on the very prefix-count-conservative side in rir pi space allocation discussions. randy
