In an environment when a small ISP in a small country can cause a lot of damage to the global Internet, a way has to be found to efficiently propogate this knowledge far and wide.I don't understand this point. Would you have been happier if they were a small ISP in the United States? How about India? Finland? Why does it matter that AS8584 is in Israel?
I believe that the implication was that: 1) they're not directly connected to any of the major _US_ backbones, and 2) they're on the other end of a fairly thin hose. And they can _still_ hose things this badly. This speaks not well of the architecture involved. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
