CANCELLED (Heads up: Long AS-sets announced in the next few days)

Dear All,

 > But first we need to do the experiments...

Given the large number of complaints on the various lists, I have decided
to cancel this experiment for the time being.  We may reschedule it at
a later date, but only after we have posted a list of AS# to be used
and given people a chance to opt-out beforehand.   How exactly we are going
to do this, has not been decided.

As the RIPE NCC, we place great value in the support that you have given
to our measurement experiments over the last years.  I do not want to
be responsible for destroying that trust with an experiment that may
affect the reachability of 100+ AS's for a few hours during office hours.

In Lorenzo's defence, I have to say that he is a very enthousiastic
student who has been doing great stuff in the routing area.  On this
occasion, he became a bit overenthousiastic though.

Henk
