That is rediculous. Sounds like better filtering is needed.
Correct. If everyone filtered their connections, this would be a lot better. You can't filter your peers (easily in a way that it can scale well), but if you filter customer connections on a per-prefix basis, (and/or by as-path), you can reduce this type of nastyness. Customers should not be trusted, and peers should be looked upon with a great deal of concern, because they can send you anything pretty much. route-servers are a bit more scalable, but because most people don't keep their RR objects in place, it makes it a bit tougher to use those tools, not counting other things. Most folks end up creating their own. - Jared
