Here's a brave attempt to clear the swamp, and more ;-)

> descr: This prefix is one of three which is designed
> descr: to accomplish several things. Firstly, ICM
> descr: will be offering a set of robust and hardened
> descr: default-oriented prefixes which will be made
> descr: reliably available to some of AS1800's peers and
> descr: things downstream from them. The routing announcements
> descr: will be supplemented with a box that sends back
> descr: appropriate ICMP messages; at some point we will
> descr: also make a view of the default-announcing box's
> descr: knowledge of global routing available to folks
> descr: who wish to accept the default announcement.
> descr: Secondly, this announcement is designed to assist
> descr: ANS in the transition away from advisories. We expect
> descr: that this will allow people to send in far fewer
> descr: advisory updates than is done currently, without
> descr: breaking reachability between ANS's customers and
> descr: the rest of the world. This is good for both ANS
> descr: and everyone else.
> descr: Thirdly, ICM will be running some experiments on
> descr: sheer amount of traffic that follows an ultimate
> descr: default, although this must be done without
> descr: examining that traffic for content without explicit
> descr: permission from the originator. We expect that this
> descr: will help serve as a tool to identify and correct
> descr: problems in the global routing system.
