OK, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

No, they were announcing less specific BGP prefixes. So they only got traffic 
for legitimate blocks when there was an interruption in the announcement of the 
more specific.

So if my understanding is correct, they basically performed a routing man in

did they keep from creating routing loops and service interruptions. I’m also a 
little concerned about performance and link loads. Are my concerns legitimate 
and inline?

Thanks,

I read some more of that article I sent.  They specifically state that they had 
LOAs from the RIRs to do these /12 advertisements.

Thanks!

There is a paper here
http://www.merit.edu/research/pdf/2013/ipv6_darknet_paper_r6098.pdf

that says
"We announced the prefixes: 2400::/12, 2600::/12, 2800::/12, 2c00::/12, 
2a08::/13, and 2a04::/14 for over a three-month period. For a few days, we also 
announced RIPE’s 2a00::/12"

So I believe that the answer to your question is yes.

That summary of the issue helps a lot, thank you!

The question on my mind is:
        Did ARIN provide a written LOA to Merit to announce 2600::/12 ?

I'm the primary shepherd for this Draft;

The author is Heather Schiller, and I'm only saying that because I'm going to 
reference you to her comments at the mic at the last NANOG.

The research that prompted the proposal was presented at the last NANOG in 
Atlanta and is at the following link;

https://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstract?id=2289

Heather's comments begins at about time stamp 17:10 or so on the video of the 
NANOG presentation, and there are a couple other comments as well.

Additionally, the reference for the published paper for the research in 
question is;

http://www.merit.edu/research/pdf/2013/ipv6_darknet_paper_r6098.pdf

Also related is; ACSP SUGGESTION 2014.3: PUBLISH INFORMATION AND SUPPORTING 
DOCUMENTS FOR EXPERIMENTAL ALLOCATIONS

https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2014-3.html

[Shepherd hat - OFF]

While I do not have a problem with this research and I don't think we should 
restrict future such activities, I believe this is something the community 
should discuss in detail and try to come to consensus on, one way or the other.

Also, while I disagree with the proposed policy text, what is proposed is not 
without precedent.  As discussed in the NANOG presentation, RIPE initially gave 
permission for a covering prefix for its whole /12 and then it was modified to 
a covering prefixes of a /14 plus a /13, excluding the space where most 
allocations were.  This significantly reduced the amount of traffic for RIPE 
region and they were excluded from the analysis.

Hope that helps.
