[AusNOG] Reminder to fix 1.1.1.0 IP block

[Beeson, Ayden]

What would you consider a situation you can't use private space for?

I'm sure there are some but I can't think of any...

I suppose if anyone can suck up the unsolicited traffic that those kind of blocks are always going to attract it's Google.

Pollution includes indirect methods such as DNS records too, e.g. parking records on 1.1.1.1. There's always going to be something trying to talk to addresses in those blocks.

I make use of networks from 192.0.2.0/24<http://192.0.2.0/24> and 203.0.113.0/24<http://203.0.113.0/24> a lot now for lab and temporarily stupid situations. And even 169.254.0.0/16<http://169.254.0.0/16> sometimes too on devices that don't care, or for DNS records.

They work well if you really can't use 1918 space for a good reason.

127.0.0.1 or something else in the /8 is useful too. e.g. MX records for domains that should actually be dark.

Anyone have other suggestions?

AS15169 is not APNIC Research, but Google.

So it's allocated. And it's probably getting used, hence Phil's request.

Maybe the next main Google DNS Server will be at 1.1.1.1 instead of 8.8.8.8.
So in that case for the people that use 1/8 internally: if you still want to be able to access Google from your Network in the future instead of getting redirected to some internal server (It's especially fun if your internal DNS is 1.1.1.1), then renumber to the proper RFC 1918 private address space.

Cheers,

Mat

Perhaps, but that's clearly only "routed briefly"

At least, so whois says... :)

inetnum:        1.1.1.0 - 1.1.1.255

(And I did say "allocated", not "routed" - Allocated to APNIC Debogon/research doesn't count!)
