From the article: "Flow routing has introduced an important innovation that can help alleviate the capacity crunch: Routers do not need to route every packet, only the first packet in a flow."
He has just described Multi Layer Switching.... something which has been around for years. From Cisco: "The packet forwarding function is moved onto Layer 3 switches whenever a partial or complete switched path exists between two hosts. Packets that do not have a partial or complete switched path to reach their destinations are still forwarded in software by routers.... IP MLS allows you to debug and trace flows in your network. You can identify which switch is handling a particular flow by using MLS explorer packets."
They don't have to infringe anyone's rights. Anybody is welcome to report material to an ISP/ICH. Once an ISP/ICH has been notified, they are then obliged to report it to the authorities.
Like I said in my original post, there is NO requirement for ISPs or ICHs to monitor anybody.
The legislation does not require ISPs to monitor customer usage to pick up on illegal use. It is purely there to ensure that when an ISP becomes aware of specific content, that they report it.

So, everyone is whinging that the firewall included with XP SP2 is WORKING?
The 'glitches' listed on the KB articles would be affected by any end user firewall, or hardware firewall on the market. To bash MS for this is counter productive. They have done the right thing in enabling it by default. If you want to run a server, you ought to be smart enough to figure out how to configure your firewall. If not, then its better for the net as a whole, you are the type of person still spreading Code Red.
In my experience we have never had an issue with a Tier 1 provider here in Australia allowing us to advertise anything down to a/24.
No idea how it works in your part of the world, but APNIC make/24 portable assignments. If what you are saying is correct, they would not be usable. The number of/24s on the routing table does not back it up:)
Portable allocations or assignments are unlikely to be possible with IPv6. However, this is still under heavy discussion amongst members of all LIRs.
If you are seriously interested in becoming part of the discussion, take a look at your local LIRs website. My LIR APNIC has quite active discussion on possible future policies on exactly this topic.
For IPv6, aggregation is a much more important factor in allocations/assignments than conservation. With IPv4, they are generally equally weighted.
There is no mention of the size of the customers IP range. For all we know it could be a/16, which while in itself would be strange (non portable/16, unheard of), it wouldn't be a techinical problem.
Anything down to about a/23 wouldn't be a major issue. 55% of routes in the globabl BGP table are/24s, an extra/23 would barely register.
If its a/24 or less, then the judge needs to be hit with a clue stick.
Whatever happens, its going to change the definition of "public share resource" forever. Honestly, the someone needs to explain to the judge that IP space is not owned, it is (for lack of a better word) leased to the user.
I'm getting off my high horse now before....
..how is this any different from when you were a child, your mother distracting you from injuries with a lollie/toy? I know it used to work on me, and it sure works on my girls.
It seems a bit of a reach to claim this is anything new.

I am the pusher robot.
Hell I'm a subscriber and clicked the "report problems here" and emailed the so called "on duty editor".
The "new" article then remained red in the mysterious future for a further 15 minutes before being added to the main non-subscriber page.
So oh mighty editors, if you aren't going to pay attention to emails sent to you, why have the link there in hte first place?

Rackspace is a US company. Doing a traceroute shows that the IPs are in use somewhere in the USA, not in Australia. Hence, not hosted in Australia.
The domain may be owned and managed by a company in Australia, but hte server hosting it is not.
Perhaps, but it is clearly not hosted in Australia as the OP first said. :)
Looks like it is hosted with rackspace.com in the US, not Australia.
