Congratulations, finally, after almost a year after the shutdown and deprecation of the 6bone address space, returning it to IANA, all the 6bone prefixes are finally gone from the IPv6 routing tables at all ISP's peering with GRH (which thus more or less gives a global IPv6 BGP view) grh.sixxs.net> show bgp 3ffe::/16 longer-prefixes grh.sixxs.net> (aka none ;) Checking http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/dfp/6bone/ pTLA: 3ffe::/24 Country: us NetName: ROOT66/US-CA ASN: AS4555 Allocated: 1997-08-14 Last Seen: 2007-05-10 12:17:22 pTLA: 3ffe:800::/24 Country: us NetName: ISI-LAP/US-CA ASN: 4555 Allocated: 1997-08-14 Last Seen 2007-05-10 12:17:22 Thanks Bill for finally(!) shutting down the machines that you where still using for announcing these prefixes. This definitely shows that everybody is done experimenting with IPv6, expect for the upcoming Great IPv6 Experiment of course ;) For the folks still using only IPv4: Remember that Geoff Huston and Tony Hain have now aligned their prognoses for IPv4 Address Depletion: 2009 is the new date, so if you are not doing IPv6 yet, you better start doing something about it, or you will be too late, and everybody who did do something about it, is going to point and laugh at you while ridiculing you saying "we told you so", which is going to be quite a lot of fun :) Greets, Jeroen (only partially kidding, but it was time that 6bone routes finally disappeared, he can resurrect the rest of ep.net though)
Is it just me or is this happening again? Re-paging ;-) Thanks Chris Fergie wrote:

Since 198.32.0.0/16 is cut up and used by many, many different people in many disconnected networks, it seems to me that the absence of 198.32.0.0/16 in the RIB is a feature, not a bug. (And I'm fairly sure this was pointed out last time, too :-) Joe
However 198.32.2.10 and 198.32.4.13 (ep.net DNS) are not covered by any active prefix right now, 198.32/16 or otherwise, so that is a bug and not a feature ;-) I am not so concerned about 198.32/16 not showing up as I am that no other prefix which will handle those hosts is either.

A failure to reach ep.net's nameservers is presumably something to be taken up with ep.net, though, not NANOG :-) Looks like the failure was temporary: route-views.oregon-ix.net>sh ip bgp regex _4555$ BGP table version is 213222472, local router ID is 198.32.162.100 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal, S Stale Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path * 198.32.2.0 202.249.2.86 0 7500 2497 1239 4555 i * 207.172.6.20 5 0 6079 3356 1239 4555 i * 209.10.12.160 0 4513 701 1239 4555 i * 65.106.7.139 3 0 2828 1239 4555 i (etc, etc) Joe

Huh. flag.ep.net was renamed flag.ip4.int? Given that the best I can find out about ip4.int is a very brief and long-expired I-D from 1996, why is this domain still in the root zone? At least ip6.int. was actually used for a brief time... -- Niels.
