<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>One would think that operators not updating filters to permit properly allocated space IS an operational issue.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>True, there are some non-operational facets to the issue, but that is not sufficient to call this off-topic...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I can think of no better place than NANOG to say "Hey, some of you still have not updated your filters, I still do not have the reachability I should have.". His problem is indicative of future problems to come as we expand the use of previously unallocated IPv4 space. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If the community cannot solve his problem, what reachability assurance do we have on any future allocations out of spaces with a similar history?</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> My question is as follows - We are losing customers because of this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> problem. It is costing us reputation and money. It is out of our</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> control. If you were us, what would you do? We have already asked ARIN</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to reassign us to a "friendlier" CIDR, and they refuse.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is no longer a technical operational issue so it is out of scope for </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this mailing list.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But if you think that ARIN could do something to solve your problem then </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you should raise the issue on the ARIN public policy mailing list. You can </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>find subscription information for that list here <A HREF="http://www.arin.net/mailing_lists/index.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www.arin.net/mailing_lists/index.html</A></FONT>
