This has been talked about at nanog so I am sure that everyone knows the pros/cons(?) on using the RA.
Are there any cons to it for a small multi-homed ISP? Also, I noticed Genuity does this on all their 'as-in' rules: aut-num: AS3847 as-name: ASN-GENUITY descr: Genuity Inc a Bechtel Company as-in: AS293 1 AS-ESNETUS AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} as-in: AS568 1 AS568 AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} as-in: AS1746 1 AS-DRANET AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} as-in: AS2551 1 AS-NETCOM AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't see any harm in it, yet I don't see lots of other people doing it in my random sampling. Also who actually uses the RA? What are the filter policies (in general) of those who don't? I ask as I'm going to bring some new space up next week and I'd be curious to see if I'll be invisible to anyone... Thanks, Charles
