Of course, if they tried to run the test *before* assigning the block, it should fail, because it should still be in everyone's bogon filters. ^_^
So before assigning a block, mark it as "Pending assignment" or "Assigned to IANA".
their bogon filters. It would also require that the RIR to whom the block has been assigned arrange with their upstream to have the test block routed;
That's trivial.
perhaps they could use the top block from the new assignment for the test subnet, and then begin assigning from the bottom; hopefully by the time any substantial portion of the space has been allocated, the need for the test subnet will have passed, and the block can be used as part
Unfortunately, I doubt that. ARIN's been assigning from 69/8 for a year or more and there are still lots of networks filtering it. If RIR's were to setup such testing sites, it'd probably make sense to simply reserve the minimum allocation size block from each IANA assigned block and assume it will be used for reachability testing pretty much indefinitely. Maybe they could be recycled after a number of years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
