Karsten,

This was the fifth explanation for the blocking in as many days. Iran has
blocked YouTube permanently since the June 2009 election. It is important
to note, however, that Iran has begun DNS injection today at the DCI
gateway (AS12880) for the requests on at least youtube.com.

Also, my paper on the weird use of 10.0.0.0/8 addresses within the country,
which now has to be updated after only twenty-four hours...

Cordially,
Collin
