> descr:       default-oriented prefixes which will be made
> descr:       reliably available to some of AS1800's peers and

> descr:       will be supplemented with a box that sends back
> descr:       appropriate ICMP messages; at some point we will
> descr:       also make a view of the default-announcing box's
> descr:       knowledge of global routing available to folks
> descr:       who wish to accept the default announcement.
> descr:       Secondly, this announcement is designed to assist
> descr:       ANS in the transition away from advisories.  We expect
> descr:       that this will allow people to send in far fewer
> descr:       advisory updates than is done currently, without
> descr:       breaking reachability between ANS's customers and
> descr:       the rest of the world.   This is good for both ANS
> descr:       and everyone else.
> descr:       Thirdly, ICM will be running some experiments on
> descr:       sheer amount of traffic that follows an ultimate
> descr:       default, although this must be done without
> descr:       examining that traffic for content without explicit
> descr:       permission from the originator.  We expect that this
> descr:       will help serve as a tool to identify and correct
> descr:       problems in the global routing system.
