This would get into the discussion about authenticating BGP again, but what happens if IANA and ARIN get all cozy (no, I don't want to think about it) and ARIN decides to allocate some /18's out of 1/8? How do the folks filtering this network (because it's a reserved number) know that it's gone from being reserved to active use? Maybe i'm just nitpicking, but with the so-called 'IP shortage', it would make some amount of sense that some of these reserved blocks will be opened up more and more. I don't like the idea of screwing over some poor new guy's connectivity just because engineering folks have better things to do than do 'whois's on their filters every week. Or is there some historical/technical reason that I'm not aware of for not listening to 1/8? -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) I'd like mornings better if they Founder, the DALnet IRC Network started later. e-mail: [email protected] WWW: http://www.dal.net/~dalvenjah/ whois: SN90 Try DALnet! http://www.dal.net/
