Your routers, your decision.
But how much traffic are you sending TO Google? Most people get the vast
majority of traffic FROM Google. They send you videos, you send them
ACKs. Does it matter where the ACKs go?
A customer is complaining that data they're sending is going over a
higher latency (longer) path. I don't know what they're doing I don't
generally ask why, but they claim it's a problem for whatever they're
doing and I don't have a reason to doubt them. It's not youtube.
I agree that it's an undesirable long term solution but if filtering
select transit-only /24's shifts the path to peering and reduces
latency, if the customer is happy then I'm happy and if/when Google
starts accepting peering requests again I'll revisit it.
