But I still see 4 /24s advertised in 208/8:
208.0.1.0
208.0.4.0
208.0.5.0
208.0.9.0
Now, besides the fact that 208.0.4.0 & 208.0.5.0 could be 208.0.4.0/23
(grin), what IS the appropriate way to deal with an ongoing situation
where un-NIC-allocated IP space is advertised on the Internet?
We have no plans to implement incoming route filters on 208/8 - who
knows when the NIC will start allocating out of it.
Obviously, having announcements of unallocated address space "work" for
the long term is a bad precedent to set. Yes, it can be a pain to deal
with the NIC (which is following policies approved of by most NSPs)
to get address space, but ...
