Are there any cons to it for a small multi-homed ISP?
Also, I noticed Genuity does this on all their 'as-in' rules:
aut-num: AS3847
as-name: ASN-GENUITY
descr: Genuity Inc a Bechtel Company
as-in: AS293 1 AS-ESNETUS AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0}
as-in: AS568 1 AS568 AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0}
as-in: AS1746 1 AS-DRANET AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0}
as-in: AS2551 1 AS-NETCOM AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't see any harm in it, yet I don't see lots of other people doing it
in my random sampling.
Also who actually uses the RA? What are the filter policies (in general)
of those who don't? I ask as I'm going to bring some new space up next
week and I'd be curious to see if I'll be invisible to anyone...
Thanks,
Charles
