Tony, you might want to be a bit more specific about the values you are using, i.e. how long certain prefixes will be ignored. This will make troubleshooting easier and reduce calls into your NOC. This brings up an interesting question too: Can we still troubleshoot the connectivity problems arising if transit ISPs use all different values for this or even the proposed exponential version?

This is a short note to the ripe community and our peers to let you know that we are now implementing a form a progressive route dampening based on BGP prefix length. Flapping routes with longer prefixes will be penalised/suppressed for longer than shorter ones. Hopefully more implementations of this ilk will prompt more Networks to CIDRise.
Maximum ripe block allocations will receive the default cisco suppression.
Any questions, just drop us a line.
