It seems that we never really settled the question of route objects that make reference to the following reserved IP blocks.
These blocks have been reserved by IANA through IETF action, and thus they are completely outside the RIR framework. IANA maintains a registry of such address blocks at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-specia... Personally I feel that IANA should come to an agreement with one of the RIRs that the globally routeable blocks in that list could be adopted by that RIR, and then we could even have RPKI for them.
192.31.196.0/24 192.88.99.0/24
2001::/32
2001:4:112::/48 is also one of these blocks.
2002::/16
The following block, on the other hand, I think is an authentic bogon:
2011:4188::/48
I am in favor of including route objects that reference any of these reserved blocks in the ongoing cleanup. My recollection is that Cynthia Revstr�m also expressed support for including any and all such route objects in the current ongoing route object cleanup.
Are there any objections at the present time to including such route objects in the ongoing cleanup?
AS112 is an existing thing, and its routes shouldn't be removed from the Internet. See www.as112.net for brief description. As for the others... People keep repeating that 6to4 and Teredo are deprecated technologies, but they've obviously not read the deprecation RFCs themselves. The RFCs clearly state that while new implementations and installations of these tunneling methods are strongly discouraged, existing installations should be allowed to function for the near future for backward compatibility. So on these grounds I oppose removing those route objects too. When it's clear that nobody is bothering to run the relay router services for these technologies anymore, the route objects can be removed. Yes, I run one instance of these services at AS29432, and would be affected by this change. Best Regards, -- Aleksi Suhonen () ascii ribbon campaign /\ support plain text e-mail
