The examples in that document are already out of date and filtering as bogons perfectly good IP space ARIN is handing out to members. The idea of a "default static bogon filter" being made part of IOS is a horrible idea. It's bad enough getting the places that went to the trouble of setting up bogon filters to update them. If everyone had them by default, that would likely break the Internet for signifigant numbers of people. How many customer routers do you have on your networks that were installed years ago and never upgraded? How out of date would their default bogon filters be now? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
