To: members@farnet.org, regional-techs@merit.edu, com-priv@psi.com, Cc: farber@cis.upenn.edu Date: Mon, 09 Dec 91 16:32:41 EST From: Stephen Wolff <steve@ncri.cise.nsf.gov> The origin of the letter, from NSF's standpoint, is this: Some of the traffic carried by ANS originates from network numbers whose owners have declared all their traffic to be "commercial". This traffic may land on a gateway shared with NSFNET, on the other side of which is a regional or other network which for one reason or another does not wish to carry "commercial" traffic. Since the regional network had no part in causing the offending traffic to land on its doorstep, NSF felt that the regional network should not be obliged to spend its own resources to keep it out. Since ANS carried the traffic to the gateway, NSF felt it was ANS' responsibility to keep it from leaking into places it was not wanted. Accordingly, NSF asked ANS to block traffic appropriately, and asked Merit to cooperate in the necessary routing arrangements. -s
