ok, not every router...

but certainly the Tier 1 border routers should be filtering out
private IP space.

not packet filtering - route filtering...

so tell me, where do i get a class B? (or anything close to a class
B, ie at least /20). roll on ipv6. i have a full 64 bits of 6BONE
unicast address space all to myself: 3ffe:80c0:220:c/64

my home server: 3ffe:80c0:220:c::1
my workstation: 3ffe:80c0:220:c::2

both ping6'able from anywhere on the internet. (the ipv6 enabled net
anyway).
