Sabri, did you not understand this...
I am far from perfect.
Announcing a netblock doesn't promise that every address in that block exists or is reachable. A network that is blocked for AUP violations doesn't "exist", and usually returns the ICMP message "Unreachable -- Administratively Prohibited" specifically designed for such situations. Have you read "Router Requirements"?
It specifically states that a block can be announced but that does not guarantee that all hosts will be reachable. You buy transit from abovenet, the block in question goes against their AUP, live with it.
I can live with the fact that they don't route that traffic. But they should not tell me that they will...
And furthermore, how can you even begin to take part in this conversation if you haven't read all the relevant literature?
Forgive my arrogancy but I don't need "relevant literature" for an ethical question like this.
I also strongly suggest you think twice before you accuse a company of "terrorism" in the future.
What would you call it then? -- /* Sabri Berisha, non-interesting network dude. * * CCNA, BOFH, Systems admin Linux/FreeBSD */
