| could someone please explain the benefit of turning the registries into | internet police forces? Cool, speeding tickets for people with 10Gbps links in production today. We don't need a "police force" per se as much as a functionary who, on behalf of the paying membership of the registry, tries to establish (e.g., with a phone call! or some email!) whether the announcement is a question of simple, honest misconfiguration or misunderstanding, or whether it's deliberate. Moreover, with another couple of phone calls (or email), a deliberately bad announcer can talk with the network(s) immediately upstream from a deliberate bad-announcer and suggest that the membership as a whole would appreciate the installation of strict filters against the bad announcer. If that produces no results, rat out the source and its immediate upstreams to the whole membership. | and the offending party will announce 32 /23s.. what will this solve? Great, so we know that the offending party is not only deliberately announcing bogus data into the routing system, but actually _disrupting_ it. This is what real-life police are for. Sean.
