Hi admins, I received this message for the 64th time. Will you take action upon this problem? My mailbox is giving me more and more troubles. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-ietf@IETF.ORG [mailto:owner-ietf@IETF.ORG] Namens George Michaelson Verzonden: donderdag 21 november 2002 20:51 Aan: ietf@IETF.ORG Onderwerp: Microsoft uses 'darknet' to refer to PTP overlays: what do we call misuse of unallocated address space? Microsoft is now using the name 'darknet' to refer to the overlay networks of point to point filesharing in their Digital Rights Management (DRM) position papers in conferences. So, in the public eye, this neologism has probably now been taken to mean this activity, Rather than descend into hacker/cracker discussions, what is a good label to use when referring to people who usurp unallocated IPv4 address space, and arrange for it to be BGP visible in the classic DFZ network? I had thought that *this* was being called the dark net, but I'm not confident that tag will survive the behemoth... -George
