Subject: [sig-policy] Report on traffic directed to 1.0.0.0/8

Hi,
Network 1.0.0.0/8 has been assigned by IANA to APNIC on the 19th January
2010, for use for as public unicast space for further address
allocations and assignments. Before APNIC commences allocations and
assignments from this space, APNIC has undertaken a study into
1.0.0.0/8. The particular question under investigation here is the
extent to which addresses in network 1.0.0.0/8 are an "attractor" for
unwanted traffic. In particular, is there a significant level of
"leakage" of supposedly private use traffic directed to addresses in
1.0.0.0/8 that leak into the public Internet?
The report on this study is now available at
http://www.potaroo.net/studies/1slash8/1slash8.html, and two
recommendations are included in this report regarding reservations of
particular address blocks and further followup studies.
We would be interested in any comments on this report and its
recommendations. Please followup to apnic-talk(a)lists.apnic.net, or
directly to us at research(a)apnic.net if you prefer.
thanks,
Geoff Huston
Chief Scientist, APNIC
