[AusNOG] Urgent - Pacnet NOC contact (with BGP clue)

[Skeeve Stevens]

Most upstreams don't let you polute the routing tables with /25's... they don't even like /24's all that much.

In that AINS is announcing our 2 announcements as 20 /24's is a good example what these guys are like.

My simplistic view was that perhaps Skeeve could advertise "more specific" routes
that would then be preferred over the routes being advertised by the culprits, i.e. if they are advertising /24s
then change your statements to advertise 2x /25s

Not sure if that would work but we used to use that for dual links to ensure or traffic
always flowed in a certain direction.

Cheers
Tom

What do Pacnets up streams have to say?  At present I can't get to the

(202.147.14.154) from both .nz and .us

RFI - Not all of us really understand bgp, so sorry if the following
seems like an idiot question, but can providers all just announce the
correct info to drown out the wrong information? (and yes I do
understand how dumb that sounds as well, it's like 2 wrongs trying to
make a right).
