Tell me about AS19111

For all of the people who have elected to pick on me for my less
that diplomatic assertion(s), I can only suggest that your time and
effort would be more well spent by looking at the hard data that
I suggested that everyone look at, and then looking to see if any of
the bogus ASNs being used, day in and day out, are being peered
with by your own upstreams, and if so, composing an appropriately
diplomatic email to said upstreams, asking them why they are peering
with bogon ASN(s).

I do not feel that it is a stretch to say that all of this use of
bogon ASNs is arguably even more shameful than the widespread lack
of adherence to BCP 38, owing to the ease with which it may be seen
and documented.  It represents yet another, and equally or perhaps
even more egregious violation of Internet norms which endangers us
all, and all of our customers, every bit as much as the widespread
and inexcusable failures to conform to BCP 38.

The Internet needs to grow up.  This isn't a little government funded
science experiment anymore.  We have a whole planet's full of end users
watching now, and history will not be kind to those who continue to
shirk their responsibilities to the common man in the interests of
lining their own pockets in the short term.
