69/8 revisited

Wed Mar 19 17:42:46 UTC 2003

We were just allocated a /17 out of 69/8.  With all off the recent traffic on
69/8 reachability problems, I asked ARIN if the allocation could come from a
different block.

Their answer was basically that 69/8 (only) is where they are allocating from
and that "from reading NANOG, it appears that much of the problem has been
resolved."

I haven't seen any updated information that 69/8 is now working for people.
Is everyone just quiet about it, or have filters actually been updated making
this a non-issue?

Thanks,
Rick
