Fwd: [ipv6-wg] How polluted is 1/8?

See some surprising results on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/content/pollution-18 Please also note the call for feedback at the bottom of the article. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne

Whoa... To think this is going to end up in our back yards very soon is a scary proposition. Does anyone know if APNIC have started assigning from it yet? On 4 February 2010 09:49, Andy Linton <asjl(a)lpnz.org> wrote:

I don't see anything there that implies that 1/8 as such is any worse that any other /8 - once you take out a few specific ranges. Clearly 1.1.1/24 and 1.2.3/24 and possibly a few other specific ranges (someone mentioned 1.3.3.7) may need to be reserved, but I haven't seen anything to imply that 1.22.33/24 is any worse than 27.22.33/24. I'm hopeful that they will do more testing of these non-"special" addresses, as that's where the unknown factor still remains. Proving 1.1.1.1 is a problem is very much a "well duh!" moment... Scott.
