We just had someone try this. It messed up the 1200 baud links so bad that there were several complaints from several stations in several countries. Please remember the entire Packet networks is not completely TCP/IP as beyond the gateways there are still the old networks.

Hey Brian,
None that I'm aware of; the large number of registered addresses makes it rather impractical to poll all of them at any sort of reasonable
frequency. I would agree that if we had to scan the entire 44/8, that would be a mess but I think that if we took the encaps file as a start and then scanned those IPs, it wouldn't take long at all. Then it comes down to doing a cross-lookup to associate a given 44.net IP with their public IP or some location field to figure out where these active nodes are roughly.
