[rpd] Afrinic Scandals, future and the PDP

[gregoire.ehoumi]

Hi Nishal,I am glad to finally see some conversations on these topics and thanks for your contributions.The RPD is indeed the appropriate forum to discuss these issues as it is directly related to the management, distribution and usage of the INRs.Your reaction to the cochairs unbelievable decision on the AS0 ROAs proposal did not go unnoticed and I see you mentioning AS0 ROA as one of the solution to the problem being discussed here, as relates to continued routing of hijacked prefixes as bogons.How could one understand the Co-Chairs decision about the AS0 ROA in this context without giving the impression that the rot has set in and that there seems to exist some cover-up game going on?We as a community should join the campaign against the routing of these prefixes by porting the message, filtering these special bogons on our networks etc.Thanks- Greg

The only difference is that now the space is beingrouted as bogons, rather than as "legitimately" allocated space.”-n._______________________________________________RPD mailing listRPD at afrinic.nethttps://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/rpd
