Hi Alex, Two quick points: * The RA route servers no longer exist. Around January 1 of this year, the NSF sponsored route servers were decomissioned. At serveral exchange points, Route Server services are now being provided by the commercially funded RSNG project (see http://www.rsng.net). Other aspects of the RA project (including some research, RPSL, and IRR management/development) have continued. * The RSNG route servers announce routes according to policy registered in the IRR. Any routes not explicitly allowed by policy (RFC-1918 routes, default, etc.) are effectively filtered in announcements to all RS peers. - Craig at Thu, 06 Mar 1997 15:39:13 GMT, you wrote: > > This is a prinicpal example of why people should be filtering on > > both inbound & outbound announcements of default & RFC1918 address > > space. > > Well we do this (we also filter out some other things we > don't want to hear from other people), but this set me > thinking.
