Seemingly there are some server/router administrators/companies out there which don't regular update their IANA Allocation list. We've observed that a lot of networks are unreachable if we use IPs out of the 178.0.0.0/8 range. The same observation also made other LIR's we know. After contacting these networks (from MD, RO, RU, DE, and other counties), we figured out that they all reported they had firewall/filter rules using a IANA allocation list, and their list reported 178/8 to be "iana-reserved" or "iana-unallocated". </blockquote> <blockquote cite="mid:4BBE02F8.8060909@trabia.net" type="cite"> The network 178.0.0.0/8 were allocated on January 2009 to the RIPE NCC, hence these operators haven't updated their lists for more than 1 year. I guess the filter was set up once without taking into account that currently unallocated networks might get allocated later on. This problem concerns everyone at the moment, especially people with allocations from 178.0.0.0/8. I ask every one of you to check if you use an iana filter list or if possible, notify your clients, data centers and so on to check and if necessary update their lists. Are other members in this discussion list maybe observing the same problem as we did and our LIR colleagues? </blockquote> We have same problems with 109/8 (allocated to RIPE NCC on January 2009) When got report about unreachable network/server/(or only one service), we must find and contact administrator of this network/server and ask him to repair firewall. (Sometimes we must tediously explain, that problem is at their side) I wish you luck <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Michal Buchtík SITKOM, s.r.o.</pre> </body> </html>
