Just to clarify, NAPs or Internet exchanges are typically (like more than 99% of the time) layer-2 services, which don't pay attention to or care about layer-3 things like IP prefixes. A few have policies regarding what participants should filter on their own behalf, but of the four hundered odd exchanges currently operating out there, I don't know of any which filter prefixes themselves. Virtually all _providers_ over a certain size filter heavily, of course, and that's probably the portion of your question you'll get more (and more useful) answers to. -Bill
