Sorry for the late response. We use the "Please update filters" messages from our peers as follows: Upon receipt of such a message, we regenerate the filters from IRR information. Then we either confirm that we now accept the routes mentioned in the message, or we ask the peer to put them in the IRR. -- Simon. SWITCH (AS559)

Do you regenerate all your filters, or just the ones for that peer? And do you regenerate them otherwise? I.e. do you NEED the messages, or is it just an additional layer of sanity checking?

Hi Simon, That's what we do also... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - but we think it is the most paedagogic approach, so we keep insisting :-) jvv Simon Leinen wrote:

At Exodus, we use max-prefix. We also filter some of the major ASs from our public peers. We filter _702_ _1_ _3967_ and _1239_ Also, on a side note, Exodus does not send out email when we add a new AS to our network. We do update as-exodus and as-exodus-eu as we add ASs to our network.
