Ok, I am often outgunned and off target here.
But I have to ask this:
1. If filtering is used, as suggested by someone, what happens to the=20
small/mid-sized company that is multi-homed out of an ISP's
/20 or larger block? In this case, I can see an ISP with a /20
bust that up to /21s smaller to accommodate this user.
2. Wasn't /24 filtering something that a few large ISP's did a few
years ago and everyone complained? I don't have a reference here
but I seem to remember some flack about that.
3. What happens in the case of a carrier that has given /24s to a=20
downstream out of different blocks?
I guess the real question is this:
If X company can not be reached, how/who would you complain to?
And would this be like the RR and AOL email filtering lists where
we all complain, and this filtering is an effort by some=20
to force others to clean up their act?
Am I out in Left field?
Jim=20
