Please DON'T do that. End users (home/soho) should get at least a /56 and 
ideally a /48. The standards and the RIR policies both allow for 
end-users/sites to get /48s.

If you are an ISP, you get AT LEAST a /32.

 See also the discussion about what to use in p2p links.
 
Yep. Personally, I like the /64 per subnet including p2p link approach. Others 
have different opinions.

IPv4 was much further along in deployment than IPv6 is now when the first
IPv4 STDs were published as STDs.

Usually RFCs bake for quite a while in the real world before becoming STDs.

Rest assured that I did so during the debrief on our evaluation. I know
one promised a fix quickly. I don't recall on the other as that problem
was not very significant compared to other issues with that unit.

These evals are so much fun. I had to listen to a sales type explain

A valid actual hostname can start with a digit. Many do.
I'm guessing 3com may have had something to do with
that trend.

RFC 1123 2.1 clarified that a couple of decades ago, so I doubt
you'll find any running software that doesn't agree.

 and, for example,
 some MTAs/MUAs,  that comply with earlier versions of standards still in use,

 Which goes back to one of the standard-provided definitions of domain

There are several less obsolete RFCs that specify email addresses,
they're all quite specific about what a valid hostname is in an email
sense. 5321 is the latest, I think, section 4.1.2.

36/8 and 42/8 allocated to APNIC

2010-10-17 Thread Leo Vegoda
Hi,

The IANA IPv4 registry has been updated to reflect the allocation
of two /8 IPv4 blocks to APNIC in October 2010: 36/8 and 42/8. You 
can find the IANA IPv4 registry at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.txt

The complete list of IPv4 /8s allocated so far this year is:

1/8
14/8
27/8
31/8
36/8
42/8
49/8
50/8
101/8   
107/8
176/8
177/8
181/8
223/8

Please update your filters as appropriate.

The IANA free pool contains 12 unallocated unicast IPv4 /8s.
