I'd suggest making them answer RIAA complaints for a couple months. ;-)

Don't know, that would seem logical unless their is a big number of wholes.  
That 
would be the killer for this idea. 

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to do this on Abilene, any other 
backbone, or 
even at GigaPOPs, but at a campus border I think it might be very appropriate.

I'll spin this back to to you MSDP mister, how much MSDP state do we see for 
these blocks over the next few weeks.  

There shouldn't be anyone doing SSM on these blocks should their?

Therefore, we should see MSDP state for any traffic, right?

Another way would be to look at Netflow, I think.
