Isn't this the kind of problems that the Doran filters are supposed to prevent?
Yes.
I understand that it is not to everyone's benefit to filter on the /19 boundary like Sprint does but it seems to be prudent to adopt a /8 filter on most of the old class A space and a /16 filter on the old class B space. Other than the need to update these filters as the former class A space is subdivided I can see no major downside.
I for one am going to implement such filters ASAP, and I hope others will do the same... It might be a good idea for providers to put up web pages on their policy for accepting external announcements, for reference purposes.
