Are you saying then that the defaultless core ==>routability of class c's from the swamp is, as of now, guaranteed? They were never warranted or guaranteed as routable. However, the NIC didn't place any warnings that space smaller than a certain amount may not be routable, and at the time, no one had placed filters on route distribution like SprintLink's. The NIC opted to revise its wording on the application around the same time SprintLink placed its filter on new allocations. For right now, the routability of class C's is not guaranteed out of the swamp; however, I know of no route filters out there which will restrict them. /cah - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
