I am not talking only about providers and providers
providers. I am talking about all the AS-s in that participate in the
global table and accept the full bgp table and filter it based on the
IRR and/or ROA record. How can I be sure that they
won't just drop my prefixes only because of the incorrect route6 object
values?To eliminate the risk of my prefix getting
blocked in some third party AS I would like to have correct route(6)
objects, not almost correct (which technically are incorrect).
Most
transit providers accept <= the route/route6 prefix length. Some
IXPs filter strictly.
The best thing to do is to test this out
and see if announcing an upstream /48 works. You can use e.g. ripe
atlas or other measurement networks to test connectivity paths while
upstream mitigation is in place, both with a /48 IRRDB entry for the
announcement in question, and without. This should give you a clear
idea about whether using individual /48s is worth the effort (I suspect
the answer is probably not).
