Internet routers should never "advertise" private IP blocks to the global Intenet, I've never heard of anyone stating that they should not have them in their routing table. I've worked in a few NOCs in my short life and the NOC has always been on an isolated private subnet. Acess to critical hardware was only allowed from behind that subnet. Private addressing adds an extra layer of security as well as saving valuable IP space.Security?! Come on. That's a lame reason. It's that kind of mindset that leads to your customers being able to manage your routers, simply because you had them secured by only being manageable from a private space.
Please, oh please, not this conversation again. He did say 'layer', implying there was more then one. You were the one that said 'only'. Lets leave this alone. andy
