Hi,
I'm trying to get rid of the section called 'Advertised IANA Reserved Addresses' in the 'RIPE NCC Region Weekly Routing Report'. <snip> If we want to try get some of this stuff out of the backbone and even decrease some (unnecessary) BGP-traffic, why not publish a 'ingress BGP-filterlist' that is endorsed by the RIPE-wg, RIPE or the community at large?
How about http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-manning-dsua-03.txt which is a very good start for a list which should be applied on all external BGP peerings (inbound and outbound). A draft I would certainly like to see as a BCP RFC.... Maybe this working group could consider something like this as a recommendation to "the community", like RIPE-210 flap dampening parameters?
I'd second Philip's suggestion .. though, the question I have is exactly what are the authorities or the 'the community' doing to apply due pressure on the originators to filter bogus announcements from their tables before passed on to external peers ? prevention is far better than cure. This is not to suggest that we discard preventative measures. Rush --
