I don't think a spurious prefix directly injected into route-views is proof a network is broken.
we've had this discussion 42 times. it is not proof of anything and no one has said it is. but if it was one of my areas of responsibility leaking something strange, i sure would not mind folk mentioning it here. in fact, i would be greatful.
It is not proof. No one said it was. And no one said you said it was. :) That said, I would be grateful if someone showed me I screwed up too - in private. In public, I'm not so sure. Especially if someone only -thought- I screwed up. One could argue that it is difficult to reach the proper people privately (although "noc@" might be a start, or iNOC-DBA, or ...). One could also argue that public notification is better than no notification. But then one would might want to mention that private channels had been exhausted in one's public notification. Anyway, this "one" is sorry if that "one" thought one was being curmudgeonly. :) -- TTFN, patrick
