Hi,
In many places yet we're discussing prefix aggregation for at least
193/8, 194/8 and 195/8 IP blocks.
I was told since a while that some US carriers -such as SprintLink-
have decided to filter (id. no more route) prefixes longer than /19.
My questions is :
- is this impleted yet ?
- if yes, who does it, for which class(es) of prefixes of which length ?
- if no, when do you intend to have this filtering operational ?
As I'm acting as a "consultant" for the french academic network (Renater)
I'm interesting in knowing what policy every ISP -specially in the US
of A- intend to implement in the near future.
Thanks for your help and time,
Regards,
+Bernard Tuy.
