Or you can just install some sanity filtering on your >inbound peers/transit providers to nuke the /25 and up's. I have to agree with Steve on the prefixes longer than /24. C&W is probably just leaking internal routes to customers, which you can probably filter without any loss of connectivity. (There is a nice sanity filter on the merit.edu site. :) But John has a point about the /24s in 63.0.0.0/8 (and /20s and ....). You might as well add the entirety of AS7046 as well. (I told Jeff & Vijay and others about this over a *year* ago, but UU still announces hundreds of completely useless routes - which are not even aggregated amongst themselves.) There are more examples, I am sure everyone knows some. Essentially, you are right John, the table is full of litter and chaff. Besides, if all we do is give multi-homed providers "micro allocations", say in the range of /22s or so, we will not even grow the table - those routes already exist in the table under the provider's AS. In fact, we might reduce the table because some of these providers have multiple /24s which cannot be aggregated. >Then again, like Patrick, I have no enable, so what do I know? :-) Ohhh, good point. I do not have enable, so I cannot be correct. :) >Steve Rubin * [email protected] * http://www.tch.org/~ser/ TTFN, patrick -- I Am Not An Isp - www.ianai.net ISPF, The Forum for ISPs by ISPs, <http://www.ispf.com> "Think of it as evolution in action." - Niven & Pournelle (Enable?
