I was dropping everything smaller than a /36 from PA ranges at the edge. I recently had to relax this filter, because Cloudflare seems to insist on throwing tons of /48s from their 2400:cb00::/32 into the air without an aggregate. And guess what the popular cloud reverse proxy for IPv6 webpages is these days ... cloudflare. Yes, it sucks, yes, I wrote them, but no answer and no change. Best Regards, Bernhard
