Yes, 3561 is one of our transit. This isn't about what filters we have or don't have. its about the fact that from my view there are some announcements that really shouldn't be on the net in the first place.
The point is, those /27s, /30s and /32s are *not* on the 'Net, they are internal to C&W. You should not condemn the global table because C&W leaks specifics to their customers. Those other routes - like 64/8, AS7046, etc. - *are* on the global table and should be cleaned up. But no one seems to care about that any more. I find it amusing that some people who argue against micro-allocations say nothing about this added waste. Hypocrisy always amuses me. (It has to or it would piss me off.)
Some providers (some of our other transits) provide a cleaner table.
They probably put the same "sanity" filters on their customers that they put on their peers. I used to do that (when I had enable :).
Personally it seems many BGP folks are lazy and don't keep things clean....
That, my friend, is and has been obvious for many years. :)
I thought patrick got enabled? I know if I keep this up, I will loose it :)
Got it, configured a few routers, changed positions, lost it. Now I go around buying other ISPs instead of configuring routers on my own network. Am I automatically wrong because I do not have enable? Many probably think so. Maybe they are right. :) 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?
