I agree but two points, I was suggesting a method to mitigate the spam and there are 216411 /24 in the table, only 71 /25, two more temporary prefixes are insignificant. When networks like Blackberry announce their blocks in /24 (Haven't checked recently), what can you do? On Tue, 2012-06-19 at 15:06 +0200, Sascha Lenz wrote:
Hi,
You could announce the /24 and 2 * /25 yourself and blackhole to reduce the impact, not everyone filters on /24.
please don't pollute the DFZ.
Contacting the (other) upstreams and tell them the route is bogus is the only intelligent option. If the inetnum object is removed, they can see the announcement is not valid in the first place.
Everything else has been said already, just don't use PA like that. I'm not sure what would be the proper way to get the route object removed in this case either.
