We were an early user of the 69/8 address space. I started the original thread on this subject back in Sept/Oct 2002. While I am very disturbed (but not surprised) to find out that there are still serious issues with networks acknowledging this allocation, this is one of the best suggestions I have seen for doing something to force the issue.

And how quickly would those ASN's respond to or even comprehend the bogon-filter update notices? If those ASN's are competent and quick-responsive ones, we should not even be having these prroblems to begin with.

If the alternative is getting space, giving it to customers, and explaining why they can't reach X, Y, and Z on their connection to us, but they can on other internet connections, we're going to at least have to try. I like the idea of moving the gtld servers into such space. That way, the networks that are at fault will break, and they'll be well motivated to fix their filters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
