Re: IPv4 Games

[Justine Tunney via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

There are currently 13'797 Tor exit nodes <https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes>.
So even if she somehow managed to hit each one, that would only account
for 0.067% of her claims. I've been operating the IPv4 Games for three
years, and I've never seen anything like it. All I know about her is that
she's probably from Germany judging by the song on her homepage. America
won the war. America invented the Internet. Now it looks like a new power
is rising. What network operator in North America has the strength and
willpower to challenge her dominance of the IPv4 address space?
