wee! and for some extra fun, just append the bad-guy's ASN to your route announcements, force bgp loop-detection to kill the traffic on their end (presuming they don't default-route as well) Even more fun if you are not the only one filtering that ASN. :) Andras

But even in 2000 the policy was and still is: /128 for really a single device /64 if you know for sure that only one single subnet will ever be allocated. /48 for every other case (smart bet, should be used per default) I believe this policy is changing. The new text is: End

doesn't more address space just give us more routes to handle? No. It only makes more possible prefixes. Migrating to IPv6 while keeping the current (IPv4) routing and current business relations, there would be somewhat less routes: bigger address space - bigger chunks - less need to

Fred, Brandon, Spiro, Thanks for all your answers. operating system called NextStep. It sounds like they came up with a variety of site-local address pre-RFC1918 and pre-RFC3927 that did something similar to RFC 3927 addresses. That's it. 192.42.172.0/24 is often used in examples, but I

Jeff, I am trying to find an IPv6 subnet calculator or even a cheat sheet that will help show how a /32 allocation is broken down into /40, /48 and /64 I guess that you don't even need a cheat sheet for that. All the prefix lengths you mention are multiples of four, which means they're on

Hello, I've pretty much always assumed that what a switch reported as a status regarding the link of a node was the actual status of the line to be the case. However, when I I think that there is no such thing as the actual status of the line. Each end of the cable has a status, either

Has anyone used /31 mask addresses on their network? Yes, works fine (on an all Cisco network). Maybe not interesting for an ISP, but I'm using it on a vlan interface on a 6500/7600. It works fine with IOS 12.1.8-EX5, but 12.1.11-E1 refused the configuration because it's not a p2p

Hello, A bit off-topic and maybe stupid question: I was told yesterday, that a Hungarian telco/ISP is experimenting with EDFAs. My friend said that the box looks like if they just brought it from a research lab (however it's a commercial product). How common is it nowadays to use EDFAs in ISP
