let each AS owner register an IP address with IANA or their RIR, and use this test box to ping the AS owner.
i do not understand what you are proposing. ahhh. you mean o each asn register a pingable address within its normal space, maybe in their irr route object o the rirs set up a routing island with only the new prefix in it o from a box with that new prefix, the rir pings all asn's registered pingable addresses from the first step o whine about any which are not pingable interesting modulo issues of reachability at any one time. and places more of a routing policing burden on the rirs. though some at least one rir is just dying to become net police, so it might sell. randy
