why traffic goes to "retired" address space is a difficult question to answer. http://www.caida.org/workshops/wide/0611/ has a pointer to some early work done on the "B" renumbering. There was agreement by the operators of "B","L","J", and "M" to collect data during the DITL-2008 collection to see if any correlation btwn querying nodes. That said, ICANN should have renumbered the node when they took it over. They did not. They have not had permission to use the prefix since 2004 - but for stability sake, I did not make a big fuss.
well... ep.net is hosting the nic.um site until the political fuss blows over. that being said, if you actually went to the um web site (as listed on the IANA pages) you would -NOT- go to www.um or nic.um... go to www.nic.um as directed and you'll find a working web site (its been there for years) and a working email contact for the.UM registry.
