To facilitate de-bogonising the RIPE NCC advertises some of the
prefixes from the newly allocated ranges from our RIS beacons. We do
this for a few months before starting allocating them to LIRs.

 So we're saying that a lawsuit is an intelligent method to force someone
 else to correct something that you are simply using to avoid the
 irritation
 of manually updating things yourself???

 That seems to be the epitomy of laziness vs. litigousness.

 Scott

No, but a lawsuit may be an intelligent method to force someone to correct
something that other people are using to avoid the irritation of manually
updating things themselves. I agree it would be idiotic if someone using the
bogon list were to sue the list operator because they didn't like what was
on the list and it was harming them.

If all other methods fail to get the bogon list updated, which is easier:

A) Track down everyone using the bogon list and convince them to switch to
manually updating their own list of bogons so that they can reach you.

B) Threaten the bogon list operator with a lawsuit for falsely claiming your
addresses are bogons and hope they take the simplest path and fix their
list.

This is a pretty classic case of someone inducing other people to rely on
the accuracy of their data and then offering incorrect data (not arguably
incorrect, manifestly incorrect and most likely negligently so) which those
other people then rely on.

It's no different from a credit report with inaccurate information affecting
a consumer who did not choose to have his credit tracked by the agency
providing the information. We generally recognize third parties have a right
to sue to correct negligently demonstrably incorrect information about them
when that information harms them.

This is not like lists of spam sources where the list is correctly reporting
information the spammer would prefer to suppress.  This is a case where the
list is wrong, and it's harming other people who stupidly relied on it and
people who never chose to rely on it.

If you set up a service and induce people to use it and rely on it, there
definitely should be some minimum standard of quality you should be held to.
I think failing to update a bogon list to reflect address space that is no
longer a bogon within a week or so is negligence under any standard of care.

 This is a pretty classic case of someone inducing other people to rely

arguably

It's not just incorrect data. The design of the
system used by completewhois is flawed at the core.
They only know that certain address ranges are
bogons at a certain point in time. If their system
only reported this fact along with the date for
which it is known to be valid, then they would
likely win any lawsuits for incorrect data.

The fact is, that you can only know that an address
range is a bogon at the point in time which you check
it and that it WAS a bogon for some past period. For
most bogons, it is not possible to predict the future
time period during which it will remain a bogon.

Any protocol which does not allow the address range
to be presented along with the LAST TIME IT WAS CHECKED
is simply not suitable for presenting a bogon list.
BGP simply is not suitable for this. HTTP/REST, XML-RPC
or LDAP could be used to make a suitable protocol.

But even better would be to not have any bogons at all.
If IANA and the RIRs would step up to the plate and 
provide an authoritative data source identifying which
address ranges have been issued for use on the Internet
then bogon lists would not be needed at all. And if people
plug their systems into the RIR data feed, then there would
be fewer issues when the RIRs start issuing addresses from
a new block. IANA would be the authoritative source for
stuff like RFC 1918 address ranges and other non-RIR ranges.

One wonders whether it might not be more effective in the
long run to sue ICANN/IANA rather than suing completewhois.com.

--Michael Dillon

P.S. As any lawyer will tell you, it is a good idea to make
some attempt at solving your issue outside of the courts. 
Anyone contemplating a lawsuit against ICANN should probably
try emailing them and writing a few letters first. Since they
are a somewhat democratic structure, it may be possible to
get this fixed without lawsuits.

No more so that other systems that rely on automation

agree with what you meant.


They only know that certain address ranges are
bogons at a certain point in time. If their system
only reported this fact along with the date for
which it is known to be valid, then they would

Timestamps are included in every generated file. There
is general timestamp when full list was put together
(usually daily and that's what almost everyone is using)
but also there are different timestamps for each individual
list which for semi-static list like IANA allocations,
IANA bogons, IANA special-use blocks are updated only
when this list is manually updated.


The fact is, that you can only know that an address
range is a bogon at the point in time which you check
it and that it WAS a bogon for some past period. For
most bogons, it is not possible to predict the future
time period during which it will remain a bogon.


That is why system is doing rebuilding on daily basis.

is simply not suitable for presenting a bogon list.
BGP simply is not suitable for this. HTTP/REST, XML-RPC
or LDAP could be used to make a suitable protocol.


I know you like LDAP a lot, but its not protocol that have
found support in operations community (as opposed to say
RSYNC not mentioned above...). But as I've already thought
about it before, I'll look into making data about each
individual entry available by whois lookups and extended
text file with comments (# after each entry) with these
comments also see in TEXT DNS lookups.


But even better would be to not have any bogons at all.
If IANA and the RIRs would step up to the plate and
provide an authoritative data source identifying which

then bogon lists would not be needed at all. And if people

be fewer issues when the RIRs start issuing addresses from
a new block. IANA would be the authoritative source for
stuff like RFC 1918 address ranges and other non-RIR ranges.


SIDR will provide authoritative signed data, but it maybe quite
some time (my guess at least 10 years) before we see majority
of BGP advertised blocks with signed certificates available
(and as to ALL doing it, I fear to guess...). And I do agree
with you about IANA; not only that but at the first (?) IETF SIDR
meeting I even mentioned need for IANA to distribute certificates
for non-allocated and special-use blocks. Others weren't very
optimistic that they'd step up; in fact put it this way -
by the time they may get to it, there may no longer by any
unassigned IPv4 blocks left.

P.S. I'd be curious if there are people who would like to see
daily activebogons list as email report including section
about changes from yesterday to today, I don't want to just
send something like this to some list I've not been invited to
do so but can setup separate list for this on new mail server.
This would allow others to check on and discuss potentially
wrong entries. If you're interested you should send email to
me privately.

One somewhat savvy customer who had the forethought to commit to his
memory a general map of the routes to the last host has noticed that 
things changed over the last 2 hours.  He's now jumping from Seattle to 
LA, to San Jose, to Denver, to Chicago, and then to Boston before finally 
hitting his destination.  Perhaps this isn't even really a GBLX issue, but 
the customer seems to remember going straight from Seattle to somewhere 
east before, all via GBLX I presumably.

Anyhow, I'm just fishing for any other weirdness that people may have 
seen, as well as any news people might have heard about fiber cuts, 
outages, etc.

FWIW, the wind in Seattle right now is outrageous.  Probably unrelated, 
but I figured I'd throw it out there

Of course, it could be that I used the wrong term. IANAL after all. Perhaps the

in the process of people getting money, I've noticed people have solved their
