wow, last time I checked root servers(several weeks ago, they was unreacheble-not operational.. now looks great:
F: 11 2001:500::1035 (2001:500::1035) 192.812 ms 192.25 ms 192.513 ms
only one BGP path to 2001:500::/48 prefix ;( anyway it works! :
H: unreachible, no BGP paths to 13 ASn, maybe /48 get's filtered?
Hello,
IMHO they should be filtered, it's not a TLA. Just give those *root*servers a /32 like the rest, saving on filtering headaches. Notez bien http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html states: "In addition to this, inside 2001:500::/32, the lists permits /48s. This network block is the ARIN microallocation block, and ARIN is assigning /48s directly to end networks (like root name servers)."
But still I don't like any 'specialties'... but that is my opinion ;)
ARIN's policy is different from APNIC and RIPE. Should we (RIPE) defend filtering according *only* to our regional policy? I personally dont think so.
Btw 2001:1488::/32 CZ-NIC-20030620, I surely don't hope that is for a tld server because that is something entirely different. Rootservers need to be hardcoded, by IP into configs. TLD servers can get resolved (and thus changed) in those rootservers.
Some people consider ccTLDs (like IXPs/NAPs and root-servers as "critical infrastructure"), some others dont. :-) (...)
Also note that K, and some others, are distributed is that going to happen for their IPv6 equivs too ?
Hope so. :-)
Greets, Jeroen
