I know of a few people in a Discord that filter out anything bigger than /16 routes, would this be wise to implement as a best practice?

Hi all,

AS3356 has been announcing 2000::/12 for about 3 hours now, an aggregate covering over 23K prefixes (just over 25%) of the IPv6 DFZ.

A few months ago I wrote: "Frequently Asked Questions about 2000::/12 and related routing errors":

Oh, that's a nice write-up. I must admit that it didn't occur to me that e.g 2000::/12 was likely something much more specific, but that someone missed the (probably) 6, 7, or 8 at the end, even though I've done this a few times myself…

Kind regards,
