heads up on 80/8 [actually operational, so don't read this!!!]
Hello, long time no see - RIPE is now allocating subnets of 80/8 to end users. In order to avoid the ugliness of various people announcing 80/8 without guaranateeing transit to all the subnets, if you are filtering subnets of this /8, please relax your filters to allow /20s and shorter, On behalf of random Europeans, Sean. (yeah, ok, this is at least partially work-related-stuff...)
Several weeks old info. I am suprised that ICANN and or RIPE haven't made the operational announcement to the NANOG or other lists. Thanks for posting it to NANOG On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 07:48:38AM -0700, Sean M. Doran wrote:

According to http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-39/presentations/rsreport/sld... They are also allocating out of 81/8, so if you want to avoid making changes to filters twice, may want to add that as well.

RIPE have also been allocated 81/8 so it won't be *too* long before the same applies in that block too. Why not get the filtering change for the whole /7 out of the way now...
