| While on the subject of IXP blocks, we also ended up redistributing the | IXP blocks and sending them to our BGP customers (who do not receive a | default) so that traceroutes and such from Looking Glasses do not break. | They can then choose to filter them as they wish. This is backwards. Do not break the architecture to fix a broken looking glass (or to work around bad interpretations of real-world traceroute results). Spend a few minutes scripting your looking glass software so that if it sees a well-known target, or an expected real-world result (1918 addresses that YOU are using, with expected ttl-distance), it returns a "sanitized" result to a naive looking glass user. I wonder if there exists the possibility of a useful (perhaps open source) generalized expert system to interpret traceroute data? "configure; make; make install" is probably even easier than breaking one's filter lists to leak prefixes all over the place. Sean. (that was a hint. you know who you are.)
