No quarrel with that, but the folks who pay those high fees kind of expected that they were guaranteed to work on the global Internet. As you pointed out, there really *IS* some co-operation between registries and NSP's and the filtering isue really *IS* becoming more sane, i.e. co-ordinated with registry activities. This is good news.
We are working quite closely together indeed. But sometimes there is no rough consensus.
As long as the lines of communication are kept open rough consensus usually finds a way to form itself even if not in the way people might have first imagined it would form. I started this thread because a European ISP could not find out from either Sprint or his own upstream NSP or RIPE, why were these routes being blocked and what could he do to unblock them. This points out to me that there may still be some room for improvement in opening up avanues of communication. Thank you. Michael Dillon ISP & Internet Consulting Memra Software Inc.
