On the France-IX route servers, we are applying filters based on IRR DBs. I double checked the list https://pastebin.com/raw/Jw1my9Bb and these prefixes should be filtered if bitcanal starts announcing them. Currently, bitcanal/AS197426 is not announcing any prefix on our route servers:

I'm very happy FranceIX apply filters - however Bitcanal is known to submit fabricated/falsified IRR information to databases like RADB and RIPE. I've reported this multiple times over the years to IRR database operators. In conclusion in the case of Bitcanal, most of your filtering is useless (and so is mine). Participants like Bitcanal dillute the value of your route servers and the IXP as a whole. Kind regards, Job
