any thoughts on how to fix it? my peers keep sending these to me and i'll even
admit my customers do too. telling people its bad doesnt appear to have an
effect, at the small end networks seem to collect /24s and announce them freely,
at the large end i'm still without an explanation as to why large networks
require so many prefixes - none of them seem to comment?
if people arent self policing it seems the only other way is for the larger
transit providers to stop accepting prefixes and telling their customers to fix
their s**t. and i dont see them doing this.
