There were a few representatives of the Internet community at the meeting. All five RIRs were represented, as was ISOC. The notable absence was ICANN. Of course, this sample is by no means representative of the entire community, but it's more than None. On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 7:50 PM,

Care to explain what that could possibly be? (I simply don't see an upside to making it easy to censor the internet by national identity). Maintenance of GeoIP-databases becomes easier and less error-prone ? Possible less out of date because of it. We've seen complaints about those many

What I've heard is that the driver is IPv4 exhaustion: Comcast is starting to have enough subscribers that it can't address them all out of 10/8 -- ~millions of subscribers, each with 1 IP address (e.g., for user data / control of the cable box). On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 12:55 AM, Kevin Oberman

Team Cymru seems to put out a lot of information in their newsletters about where bots are, e.g. this article about the locations of botnet controllers: http://www.team-cymru.org/ReadingRoom/Articles/botnet-cnc-tlds-and-countries.html On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Steven Bellovin

To echo and earlier post, what's the operational importance of assigning adjacent /8s? Are you hoping to aggregate them into a /7? --Richard On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 10:16 AM, William Allen Simpson william.allen.simp...@gmail.com wrote: Nick Hilliard wrote: On 22/01/2010 13:54, William Allen

Would it make sense for the RIRs to just carve out the bad parts of the blocks, instead of IANA? Under current policy, would reserving bad bits make it more difficult for an RIR to get additional allocations? --Richard On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 11:56 AM, Leo Vegoda leo.veg...@icann.org wrote: On

Re: New netblock Geolocate wrong (Google)

2010-01-19 Thread Richard Barnes
Something that I have often wondered is how folks would feel about publishing some sort of geo information in reverse DNS (something like LOC records, with whatever precision you like) -- this would allow the folks that geo stuff to automagically provide the best answer, and because you

Re: New netblock Geolocate wrong (Google)

2010-01-19 Thread Richard Barnes
Just to be fair here, I appreciate that there's some additional complexity here (not much -- I implemented a client for this yesterday in ~80 lines of Javascript), but LOC records don't cover everything. They're fine for stationary stuff, but not so great for anything that moves with any frequency
