-----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu On Behalf Of Steven M. Bellovin According to http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/technology/AP-TechBit-Wikipedia-Block.ht ml all of Qatar appears on the net as a single IP address. I don't know if it's NAT or a proxy that you need to use to get out to the world, but whatever the exact cause, it had a predictable consequence -- the entire country was barred from editing Wikipedia, due to abuse by (presumably) a few people. ---------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: pacnog-bounces@pacnog.org [mailto:pacnog-bounces@pacnog.org] On Behalf Of Shain Singh Apologies for those on the NANOG list. I thought it was an interesting enough article to raise some discussion. ---------------------------------------------------------- --- Alo.Anesi@bluesky.as wrote: At the opposite end of the spectrum, I once had someone suggest the following: "Why don't we just put the whole island on one big subnet?" ------------------------------------------------------- Heh, once I had a really big argument (it lasted for weeks to months) with a guy at a university where I was running the network as to why we couldn't put all 9000 computers on one big LAN. Turns out he didn't understand what a VLAN was or why intra-campus routing was important. DOH! On another note, I wonder what the IP address for all of .qa is. >;-) scott
