i do not understand what you are proposing. ahhh. you mean
o each asn register a pingable address within its normal space,
maybe in their irr route object
o the rirs set up a routing island with only the new prefix in
it
o from a box with that new prefix, the rir pings all asn's
registered pingable addresses from the first step
o whine about any which are not pingable
interesting modulo issues of reachability at any one time. and
places more of a routing policing burden on the rirs. though some
at least one rir is just dying to become net police, so it might
sell.
