When you the last time you asked the entire internet’s  permission to
announce routes ?


I am not suggesting that anyone ask for permission to announce routes.

I am suggesting they ask for permission to use ASNs that are not theirs in
the experiment, instead of forgiveness later for any operational disruption
that it would cause.

Hi!

If, for any reason, you want to opt out from us using your ASN
for our experiments, you can do so in the following form before May 9:

If I am interpreting this correctly that you are just going to yolo a
bunch of random ASNs to poison paths with, perhaps you should consider
getting explicit permission for the ASNs you want to use instead.

A lot of operators monitor the DFZ for prefixes with their ASN in the
path, and wouldn't appreciate random support tickets because their NOC
got some alert. :)

Exatly that. How about you ask people to OPT-IN instead of you wanting
people to OPT-OUT of whatever experiment you feel you need to do with
other people's resources.

Bye, Raymond.
