* Never send traffic where the source or destination IP address is from any of the blocks in [bannlist4.txt](http://207.246.62.22/bannlist4.txt) or [bannlist6.txt](http://207.246.62.22/bannlist6.txt). Your code should periodically (every hour, at least), refresh from these files to make sure the active bannlist in memory reflects what's there in those files, and if any network operators opt out of future measurements and you're the one who handles the abuse complaint, you should update those files to make sure that is reflected. You may need to ask the network operator which IP addresses belong to them that they'd like to opt out.

FYI, other than Internet scans and Internet measurements, here are some other ways you may be able to use the research network:
