Some of you may remember the short discussion here last November about the MERIT Darknet experiment and the subsequent change in our permission to MERIT. This RIPE meeting we have heard a presentation from MERIT/US-DHS about first results:

Given this, the RIPE NCC is seeking guidance on what our permission to MERIT should be in the future. Here are a couple of slides which we will present in the routing-wg:

Any reactions are welcome. I suggest to have any discussion over on routing-wg@ripe.net.

I'm divided on this, * I'm disapointed we, RIPE, sort of ruined this by not letting them announce the entire /12 * I also think it was worth it since we can see what a difference that made for the traffic they collected So all in all, I think it was worth it by doing this /13+/14 instead of the entire /12 since it made such a big difference really. But maybe they should do it for some other regions the next time? However for the future - I think they should be allowed to announce the entire /12 for this Darknet experiment. -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE rogerj@gmail.com | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | roger@jorgensen.no
