I might almost be happy, except this breaks the oh-so-nice filter of 64.0.0.0/2 at borders (effectively reduces random src spoofed attacks by 25%, and covers 127.0.0.0/8 as well). Go ARIN. </sarcasm>
The #'s have to come from somewhere, and 64/8 is just as good as any other chunk of address space. Maybe a charge of $1/yr should be imposed for all swamp space that is not currently annouced (or in one of the routing registries?). Think of all the unused address space that would be free when all the companies that are no longer in business don't pay their address space bill :). -- Steve Rubin, Packet Monkey & Pilot - ser@tch.org - http://www.tch.org/~ser/
