ARIN recently released blocks from the 69.0.0.0/8 which are causing numerous problems with routing in this block. Some 200 blocks have been issued from 69.0.0.0/8 and i've spoken with at least 15 operators who have complained.
I understand the 82.0.0.0/8 block suffers from the same problem.
Pardon me if this seems a dumb question, but what is the problem with these two blocks that doesn't apply to others?
they don't route. problem is related to legacy equipment/bogon lists which have not been updated - in most cases corporations setup their router years ago and no one knows how to update them. this is also a major problem. If you goto nanog and search the archives for 69.0.0.0 you'll get more info there. And so far based on my research every operator of an allocation from a 69/8 who has tried to use it has experienced routing problems. I expect the same will apply to any 82/8 allocations. regards joe baptista
