Hi folks, As everybody is a big fan of securing their networks against foreign attacks, be aware that the US DoD has been assigned 14 /22's, IPv6 that is, not IPv4, they all come from a single IPv6 /13 though, which is what they apparently asked for in the beginning, at least that was the rumor, well they got what they wanted.
So, someone else pointed out that the DoD isn't one org, really. There are several groups/orgs under DoD, there are several groups nested under each of those groups, and depending upon the network architecture/topology used it's fully possible that one route announcement isn't practical for this Org. What I think we should worry about is a larger portion of that Org with a large enough part of one of the /22's doing something silly like: "redistribute connected" ... (which they could, of course, have done with any/all of their /8's -> /16's in ipv4 as well...) -Chris _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG () nanog org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
