Why exactly do we need to know the exact amount of this problem?
it would be useful to know the sources of the problem.
Those would be the ones not reporting to implement BCP-38.
I know of a bunch of organisations that quietly implement bcp38 but don't talk about it. Also, add to the problem that just because a provider supports bcp38, that doesn't mean they support bcp38 everywhere on their network. Like any fence, you can end up with holes appearing due to poor installation or lack of maintenance. Overall it's a problem which would benefit from good quality characterisation. This isn't a request for Atlas to be the mechanism to do this, btw, but there would be value in having an opt-in mechanism with informed consent. This should be sufficient to deal with ethical issues associated with spoof testing. Nick
