Curtis,
The mistakes that I was referring to is the more specifics that *are* in the IRR and are announced even though there is no good reason to announce them. If I look throught the routes we accept, there are quite a few long lists of contiguous /24s with identical ASpaths. Some of them have aggregates but perhaps the aggregator hasn't discovered "summary-only".
Ah. So this was the automation Sean was referring to - not accepting more specifics of routes with identical AS paths. telehouse1#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. telehouse1(config)#router bgp 5413 telehouse1(config-router)# neighbor x.x.x.x filter-list 199 in summary-only ... Pipedream? I think it would actually be implementatable. I see Paul F has managed to get himself on the CC list :-) Alex Bligh Xara Networks
