There are several groups/orgs under DoD, there are several groups nested under each of those groups, and depending upon the network architecture/topology used it's fully possible that one route announcement isn't practical for this Org. What I think we should worry about is a larger portion of that Org with a large enough part of one of the /22's doing something silly like: "redistribute connected" ... (which they could, of course, have done with any/all of their /8's -> /16's in ipv4 as well...) -Chris _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
