Dear Nanog,

I have a class "B" IP block of addresses (IP 143.170.0.0 -
143.170.255.255)
for sale / lease and two questions for the
group:



I'ld like to propose adding 143.170.0.0/16 to Team Cymru's bogon
filter.




Is there a new RFC we should be aware of ?



Hmm, while we're at it, what relationship do you have with
Erie Forge and Steel, other than squatting on some of their
address space.

Perhaps 146.20.0.0/16 is another example of hijacked address
space.

I wonder if they are even aware they have address space...

The only value in a central registry is the tacit agreement
networks provide to police themselves in accordance with said registry.
Agreeing to gut and maim those who seek to abuse it.






Which is all well and good, and while I wont try to put words in
anybody from Cymru's mouth, they would appear to be making a list

of IP addresses which have not been allocated to a RIR, I would think
policing arin or anybody else's allocations is outside the scope of
what they'd like to do.
