What are the ASes actually exporting in this case? > of course, taking anything from the IRR literally is naïve at best. > > some years back, i asked for a *simple minimal* tagging of announcements > to route views, just peer, customer, internal. it got ietfed to utter > uselessness, with more crap welded on to it than envisioned in mad max. > > randy > Best regards, Andra
