The fact that the port authority building is also an office building with multiple other tenants? Whois contacts on a defunct domain belonging to an Australian government port authority agency that’s since been renamed don’t appear to support your hypothesis that this is another tenant of a government owned building. --srs ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces@nanog.org> on behalf of Mel Beckman <mel@beckman.org> Sent: Saturday, September 7, 2019 5:30 AM To: Ronald F.

I’m not willing to be your unpaid copy editor, so let me know when you’ve done a double check and I’ll be willing to invest time in your story again. -mel via cell

My apologies. In my furious haste, I botched that one URL. Here is the correct file conatining my traceroute to 168.198.12.242 as performed by me on August 23rd:
