Arin can't presume to know what is or is not routable. Assuming route filter policies are based on what the IP registries are giving out, the registries should be able to make at least good guesses as to which allocations will be routable and which will not. Since the registries have no control over backbone BGP filters, they can't guarantee routability. If there's not a good chance of their allocations being routable, then what's the point in allocating space? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| Spammers will be winnuked or System Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Atlantic Net | to get the job done. _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________
