Based on the experience with the CIDR Police project
(http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0302/cidr.html), you can encourge operators to
aggregate. My observation during that time was that operators:
-> Didn't know they had a problem.
-> Didn't know how to set up an aggregation policy
-> Had no one paying attention to the advertisements
-> Never had time to deal with the problem.=20
Usually, nudging, encouragement, and clue helped. Having the NANOG =
Tutorials
on-line helped - since we use them as on-line learning tools to =
tactfully
clue-in people.
Perhaps it is time for a new crew to get together to form a new CIDR =
Police
team? Every week would get people from the CIDR Police knocking on the =
doors
of their peers offering their help and asstance to enhance their
aggregation. Hank and I are occupied with another project, but I'm sure =
we
can brain dump to any who would like to build this new team.
My $.02,
Barry
