There's no such thing as IP space fully routable worldwide. Somewhere there's a poorly run network with oudated bogon filters, NAT'd IPs (yours) that someone pulled from their nether regions rather than RFC1918, or a host of other issues that result in your IPs not being reachable from somewhere. Now, I'd expect any IP space an SP assigned to you to be "pretty much fully routed" before you even have them (since you said this is PA space...PI could conceivably take some time to get upstreams to update prefix lists after they're made aware of the prefixes you intend to announce). Unless it's an issue of your provider passing on "new IANA->ARIN" space like something from 72/8 or a similar block. In that case, you're pretty much SOL. Start trying to contact the NOCs of the various networks that need their bogon filters updated. Maybe suggest your SP do the same on your (and their other customers' behalf). > Note: I would post the /24s, but I don't want to call negative attention to > a SP that might be doing his/her job just fine and I just have unrealistic > expectations.. How about you post the /8 they're from (if you haven't already). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
