Recently, one of our Transit providers has started requiring a Letter of
Authorization for addition of any of our own Transit customers' prefixes
to their filters. The verbiage of the LoA basically states that the
owner of the assignment or allocation (not necessarily our customer)
allows us to advertise their prefixes through our service.
Is this a common practice? Our past experience indicates that a simple
request to a NOC or update of a routing registry usually is sufficient.
It's not unheard of. Most providers don't require it, but I have run into
a few who do. It's a minor PITA compared to the web interfaces some
providers make you use to request filter updates.
