ARIN space not accepted

We have run into an issue with the 107.7.0.0/16 assigned to us several
months ago. It appears that many sites have not yet accepted this space. I
understand this is not a normal type post to NANOG, but hoped to get the
word out to as many operators as possible. Does anyone know of a better way
to get the word out to ask people to update their BOGONs/filters?

The first takers in a space are hit the hardest. Rementioning here is important. Do a google search and find any pages still mentioning blocking the range. Contact them and ask them to update. Then you have to start the long list with others. it's recommended you setup a server with 2 IP addresses, one in the range, one outside the range, so that people can check against them both to verify that the problem is with the range itself. I've seen some networks that run automatic probes from both ranges and compare the results, automatically sending emails to whois contacts concerning the problem.

Got an address we can ping?

Can you provide a pingable test address within that space?

Is there much point to bogon filtering now? :slight_smile:

For those not playing attention, the current bogon list should be:

0/8
10/8
39/8
102/8
103/8
104/8
106/8
127/8
172.16/12
179/8
185/8
192.168/16
224/3

It is speculated that no later than Q1, two more /8's will be allocated,
triggering a policy that will give the remaining 5 /8's out to the
RIR's. That means, prior to end of Q1, the bogon list will be:

0/8
10/8
127/8
172.16/12
192.168/16
224/3

I'd suggest it would be good if folks updated to that now, to prevent
these sorts of problems. I promise, this time it is the last update
you'll need to do. :slight_smile:

Oh. And don't forget to do *bidirectional* filtering of these addresses. :wink:
