FFII Protests European Software Patent Decision

Europeans Do Not Lead, They Follow Like Sheep

One can not conclude that an old, densely
populated place on Earth is NET-literate.
Europe is a good example. They follow the
the dictates of the ISOC and ICANN and the
IETF. Look at their brain-washed following of
the IPv6 schemes.

European government leaders see that their
European technologists are immature and third-world.

Here is a typical example:

If you mean "non-private" on both sides, there is a very good reason for such NATs (well, if you believe that there is any reason for NATs). You have a Class C from your ISP and have hard-wired values in dozens of boxes, have gotten certificates for some of the IP addresses, have hard-wired the IP address in other places, and so on. One day they call and say "we've changed your IP range just because we can". Tossing everything behind a NAT using the old addresses keeps everything working until you can handle the transition.

Please do NOT do any long-haul tunneling! See the MIPP document for
elaboration on reasoning. I can understand tactic short-haul tunnels
to actually provide any connectivity, but please no long-haul tunnels
which really distort global v6 routing decisions. Seek native transits
in US and be done with it.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,

RIPE Does Not Understand Their /8s Are Useless

echo 15 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

Regional IP Address Block Registries are a really
bad idea.

and are reclaimed for use on U.S. broad-band
networks.
