Message-ID: <8801212219.aa26538@Huey.UDEL.EDU> Date: 22 Jan 88 03:19:50 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 14 Thomas, The fuzzbugs do not currently perform a sanity check on IP net numbers appearing in EGPspeak or hellospeak messages; however, they do sport a martian filter that tosses packets with unsane IP addresses should they appear. You make a good point that the martian filter should also be expressed in a sanity check for routing data as well. Today the situation I complained about last Sunday happened again, with nets 207-something figuring very prominently in the noise. I tried to catch a MILNET gateway in the act, but without success before the wickedness evaporated from the core tables. Dave
