In an environment when a small ISP in a small country can cause a lot of damage to the global Internet, a way has to be found to efficiently propogate this knowledge far and wide.I don't understand this point. Would you have been happier if they were a small ISP in the United States? How about India? Finland? Why does it matter that AS8584 is in Israel?
Not to speak for Mr. Bridge, but I believe the point is that if this can be done by someone in Israel, it can also be done by someone in say, Iraq. 'Mr. Hussein, can you tell us why your ISP is announcing the entire Internet?' 'Relax! Take a load off! Don't worry about it!' IOW, if some terrorist group manages to get set up where they can announce BGP, they can toy essentially with whatever they like, until people/their upstream gets a clue and installs filters. -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) "The weapon which causes the most Founder, the DALnet IRC Network damage to the Internet is the keyboard." e-mail: dalvenjah () dal net WWW: http://www.dal.net/~dalvenjah/ whois: SN90 Try DALnet! http://www.dal.net/
