Update to the bogon route-server project
by Rob Thomas 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi, NZNOG folk. We're pleased to announce the release of version 1.7 of the Bogon Route-Server Project. The major change in release 1.7 is the addition of three more bogon route-servers to the bogon route-server project, for a total of four. These are all managed by Team Cymru, and provide additional redundancy for the project. All of the bogon route-servers announce the same bogon prefixes and use the same ASN and community. Folks are free to peer with as many as they like, though we recommend a minimum of two. Peering with the bogon route-servers is *FREE*, though you are welcome to buy a cup of coffee for Rob at the SLC NANOG if you feel kindly. :) You can read more about the project here: <http://www.cymru.com/BGP/bogon-rs.html> You can read more about bogon filtering and tracking here: <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/> Thanks! Rob, for Team Cymru. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);

But if push comes to shove IANA can talk quietly (perhaps in the "talk quietly and carry a big stick" sense) to some of those Large Organisations and see if they couldn't perhaps manage with somewhat less than 2**24 addresses. >As the cost of putting a full IP stack and connection drops to only a >couple of dollars or less all sorts of random things will start having >them. And before you say NAT remember that the power company will want to >directly access your meter and hotwater cylinder, your car company the >car, your whiteware company the fridge etc. Did I mention the games >console? For many of those it could easily enough be done with NAT. It seems to me that "phoning home" isn't, inheriently, any more problematic than being able to interogate the devices remotely for the vendor. And it's probably somewhat preferable for the customer too. (Even if everything was globally routable, would you want Joe Random Company connecting in to arbitrary devices your network? This isn't your grandmother's Internet any longer. Sure you can use a firewall. You've just moved the problem to being one of ensuring a million or so firewalls are properly maintained. If I were a vendor, I'd take "phoning home".) >When stuff like that comes along we really want them to be deployed on a >nice ipv6 internet rather than have to suddenly switch cause demand >increases by a factor of 10 overnight. It would be nice to have $1,000,000 tomorrow too. I don't think either of them will happen.[0] Even at the current ease of use the cost/benefit ratio for converting to IPv6 is too low for (m)any(one) to put effort into doing so. It'll only be when there's a whole lot more benefit (eg, lots of IPv6-only services, or stuff which cannot be done with IPv4+NAT) or a lot less effort (works out of the box without even thinking about it, and has for years) that'll actually happen. Especially since we've had the better part of 10 years for everyone to get pretty good at designing IPv4+NAT compatible protocols and networks, thus greatly mitigating the perceived benefit of switching. Ewen [0] Although should someone wish to give me $1,000,000 tomorrow, I'd be willing to look suitably surprised on camera.
