[arin-ppml] IPv6 Non-connected networks

[Skeeve Stevens]

I am not sure about the ARIN experience with regards to 69/8 and 70/8, but in the APNIC region here we have had an extreme amount of pain over the last 10 years.

Your suggestion that bogon filters were cleaned up after a couple of months is ridiculous as we have little way of measuring how many of those un-maintained filter lists are out there until there is a connectivity complaint.  In essence, you have no idea how much this is hurting you until it actually does so.

In APNIC, ranges such as 125/8 particularly hurt some of my customers as massive organisations such as PayPal took a VERY long time to remove filter lists - a year or more after it was allocated to our region and then allocated to LIR's.  I recall this being a massive problem over a Christmas period for some ecommerce sites.

Ranged that have been in use for 3-4 years still have the occasional problem with filter lists and the support burden on trying to track these issues down is quite significant.
