A big fail to our community, for up to this day, not
implementing basic routing and forwarding filters that would
do away with all this cruft in the first place.
Clearly the Youtube/Pakistan/PCCW incident has long been
forgotten.
-----------------------------------
I know of folks in charge of BGP enabled networks (with downstream BGP
customers as well) that have never heard of the Youtube/Pakistan/PCCW
incident and don't care if they put extra routes in the table and I
doubt that is an isolated situation. Further, I doubt it will change
unless they're forced to care by technology somehow. An unfortunate
situation for sure...
