Two things need to happen: 1. Indosat needs to clean their mess up. 2. Indosat's upstreams need to apply some BGP clue to Indosat's announcements.
It's pretty clear that both parties have dropped the ball in a big way, in terms of sane BGP filtering practices.
actually that's no at all clear. https://twitter.com/renesys/status/451456391656796161 it looked like the filtering worked rather well. certainly as a customer of many of 4761s transit providers I did not see any of them pick up this advertisement in asia. the impact was limited even when it began, and it should be largely over. One of the things it says as that this sort of announcement is highly visible to the monitoring infrastructure, which is rather good to know.
