[AusNOG] Telstra using US DOD IP's like they are RFC1918

[Nathan Brookfield]

Thus rending anyone who may actually want to reach DOD IP's in those ranges unable to do so and going against RFC's and network best practise.


Anyone who does that is questionable, in my opinion at least . . . .

I've generally seen it used when they join two MPLS VPNs, they do a NAT in between to keep the routing domains separate.

Morning All,



So I've been asked by a customer to explain a traceroute, after reviewing it and telling them to contact Telstra because the hop count out of the Telstra network is putrid, I noticed something else unusual/concerning:

Any idea's on why Telstra are using 30.0.0.0 addresses as if it's RFC1918 private IP space, surely this is the oversight of someone who needs to find a new job.



This IP space belongs to the US Department of Defense.... WTF?
