And that's a really nice side effect. However in case of transit providers the problem is that RaDB /RIPE lists what prefixes you are allowed to advertise. But that does not necessarily fully match with what source IPs can leave your network. I mean ISP-A can have a customer that uses PA range of other ISP-B and only has a static route towards ISP-A for some TE purposes. I'm not well versed with RIPE myself so I'm not sure whether there's a way to handle this situation. adam -----Original Message----- From: Jérôme Nicolle [mailto:jer...@ceriz.fr] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 6:03 PM To: Nick Hilliard; nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Filter on IXP Le 28/02/2014 17:52, Nick Hilliard a écrit : > this will break horribly as soon as you have an IXP member which > provides transit to other multihomed networks. It could break if filters are based on announced prefixes. That's preciselly why uRPF is often useless. On the other hand, if a member provides transit, he will add its customer prefixes to RaDB / RIPEdb with appropriate route objects and the ACL will be updated accordingly. Shouldn't break there. -- Jérôme Nicolle +33 6 19 31 27 14
