On the 8 July update the following entry was added to the NSFNET
policy routing database...



203.0/10        AUSTRALIA-CIDR-BLK    C:AU  1:372 2:297

Expanded listing, sorted by country, then by organization:
==========================================================

 ...

Australia
---------

    AARNet NIC, GPO Box 1142, Canberra, ACT, 2601, AUSTRALIA
        1:372   Nasa Science Network (FIX-West)
        2:297   Nasa Science Network (FIX-East)
        --------
        203.0/10         AUSTRALIA-CIDR-BLK (AU)



On the 12th July I noted the following updates...


>203.5.31/24     NET-TAU-AU            C:AU  1:372 2:297
>203.5.215/24    SILCARBURNIE-AU       C:AU  1:372 2:297

   ......

>203.6.125/24    AUS-GOV-DEF5-AU       C:AU  1:372 2:297
>203.6.126/24    AUS-GOV-DEF5-AU       C:AU  1:372 2:297
>203.6.127/24    AUS-GOV-DEF5-AU       C:AU  1:372 2:297

It would appear to make some sense to remove all the specific
announcements from the CIDR block 203.0/10 from the NSFNET PRDB,
as long as NASA is announcing 203.0/10 to the NSFNET at FIX WEST,
but as these come via NASA I was wondering what the story is.

(in the interests of a smaller NSFNET routing table!)
