Re: Companies using public IP space owned by others for internal routing

[Tyler Conrad <tyler () tgconrad com>]

I worked alongside a company that used addresses assigned to the Syrian
govt for their "guest" network. They were a pretty large org, presumably
this was done to reduce risk - firewall rules, accidentally leaking guest
prefixes to their internal nets, or just straight-up simplicity. They were
in a pretty heavily regulated industry with restrictions on what companies
they could do business with, so there probably wasn't a huge risk of
reachability
issues.
