Hi folks... I would like to know whether folks are limiting their peering sessions (BGP peering at public exchanges) only by max-prefix typically? Are we the only folks trying to filter all peers using IRR information? We've run across several peers now with 10,000+ prefixes who do not register barely half their prefixes in an IRR ... meaning that we deny the rest by default. I like to think that filtering on IRR is much better (not perfect by any means) as a practice but it's probably more *practical* to just limit max-prefix peers? We can't force our peers to register at a IRR and the only party that pays the price is us in that sense.. Am I thinking right on this? ;) Cheers, Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
