Running to the registries to save us is silly, silly, silly, and dumb.
So many folx seem to coalesce all arguments into bureacratic governmental
intervention. Several obvfacts:
+ We're not regulated.
+ The NSPs talk to each other because they want to.
+ People that want global connectivity choose their own NSP.
+ Our (at least USA's) "Internet" is capitalist.
Accepting these assumptions leads to a simple conclusion: The NSPs have
the power.
When MCI, SL, UU, PSI, Digex, GI start enforcing a hierarchal CIDR
announcement policy that *has no grandfather clause*, we will learn that
our Internet model pushes away the next hurdle. The next hurdle of
course calls for new technology. I'm reminded of Einstein's quote
paraphrased, problems of today cannot be solved with today's thinking.
Don't waste your time diddling amongst each other on this mail list
about how the registries ought to be more forceful, or how the feel-good
net.citizens ought 'do their part' and be communist^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
'sacrifice for the good of the whole'.
Tell your upstream that outages based on routing table issues are not
acceptable. If they don't get their act together, please pull out your
service contract... You'll find a clause in your contract for 'unacceptable
service'. Exercise it.
We've got one in each of our contracts, as do our downstreams. We're
this close to exercising one of these options on our upstream, and it's
rather ironic that they've voices who most agree w/ me, although they
blame all their problems on the other bad people who don't aggregate.
More /19 business, Sean, only go deeper. Make the lazy hurt.
Most people on the net right now are just dazed sheep. Put the fences
up and herd them towards dynamic numbering and proactive planning, but
don't look to the governmental agencies. They've given us Velcro and
internetworking, let's leave good enough alone.
