DataXchange is not filtering by prefix, we do occasionally filter out someone who is ping bombing or something, or a cyberpromo site. My routers seem to be able to handle the full table. How many entries are removed by this prefix filtering anyway? Does anyone have a handle on that? Looking at the weekly automated report of the possible gains by aggregating, it apprears to me that a concerted effort by a dozen or so of the top names could reduce the number of table rows by a considerable amount.
