All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users.

Not that this is all that unknown as several stakeholders/users on this forum reached that conclusion some three years ago now in discussions and debates on this forum.

Because they are being filtered :-) If more people filtered bogons, the "ROI" would be even lower. Although it is clear that bogon filtering is not a complete cure for spoofing, it does help and it also helps for some spammers. The only negative effect of bogon filtering is not-up-to-date filters, which is why we have written this draft that will expand the applicability domain of bogon route servers and other filtering schemes.

>The RIPE NCC has prepared a draft document titled "De-Bogonising New >Address Blocks": That is a misleading title. The problem is that ISPs cannot react quickly enough to open filters when new ranges are allocated. The proposed solution is to provide advance notification. I suppose this could allow ISPs to open filters before the new addresses are actually in use officially. However, it will also allow spammers to announce this space and get it through bogon filters. The real solution to this problem is to make it possible for ISPs to closely track RIR allocations in their filters in a semi-automated way. There may still be a few days of delay before a new allocation is fully routable but ISPs can compensate for that with internal processes. Why can't ISPs subscribe to a feed of all new RIPE allocations in near real-time? --Michael Dillon

25 Feb '04

(Apologies for duplicate mails) Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC has prepared a draft document titled "De-Bogonising New Address Blocks": <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/deboganising-draft.html> Abstract "This document describes an improvement in the notification process about new blocks of address space being distributed by the RIRs. It is a draft at this stage and your comments are solicited. However to gain experience before finalising the procedures, the RIPE NCC will shortly start announcing the routes from 84/8 described in the document under "pilot"." This document is published as a draft document in order to give RIPE NCC members time to read it and provide feedback. This draft document can be discussed on the RIPE NCC Services Working Group mailing list at <ncc-services-wg(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Webmaster RIPE NCC

IP assignment
by Tahsin Bekdemir 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hi, One of the our customers use an IP block including few IP addresses now. They plan to upgrade their IP network and will need C class network.They asked us a independent IP block . What is the requirements for a PI assignment? Tahsin BEKDEMIR Network Services Dogan Online Hurriyet Medya Towers,Gunesli Istanbul, TURKEY Phone: +90-212-677 00 00 /ext:2363 E-mail: tbekdemir(a)dol.com.tr -----Original Message----- From: address-policy-wg-admin(a)ripe.net [mailto:address-policy-wg-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Thilo Salmon Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 8:57 PM To: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: [address-policy-wg] (no subject) Hello everyone, when RIPE received 82/8 from IANA about a year ago, there has been a discussion on potential routing issues due to ancient filters on this list. That thread went far enough to raise the question whether or not subnets in question should be returned. Getting my daily fix of tech rants I noticed this issue appears to have resurfaced in the mainstream media at http://heise.de/newsticker/data/hob-26.01.04-000/ (German) http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://heise.de/news ticker/data/hob-26.01.04-000/ (Google translation) We received a prefix from within this network which we plan to use soon and I am now wondering whether or not we can expect to run into problems. Going through a number of looking glasses I could see my announcement just fine. But then, ISPs who offer lookging glass services are probably more likely to keep their filters up to date. Has anybody used 82/8 subnets and gathered real life experience on how they route? I'd much rather be prepared, if this turns into a teaching assignment. Thilo
