How many networks already leak numerous unnecessary /24s to their transit providers, who accept them (not having been asked to do anything else), and contribute to table bloat? Quite a lot of networks do this. Imagine if there are many possible inter-domain routes that are being filtered by transit networks, because their customers accidentally announce some number of /25-/32 networks to them. These do not affect us today; but I would hate to see all those accidental announcements suddenly appear in my routing table; or for my transit providers to have the bear the expense of dealing with them. -- Jeff S Wheeler <jsw@inconcepts.biz> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts
