Hi Chris,<div><br></div><div>Understand this, but the filtering in tern is going to leave you disconnected from very large portions of the internet. CloudFlare is not the only provider using routing like this, without an aggregate matching the minimum allocation size.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Large numbers of content providers (not just CloudFlare) who do not operate contiguous networks are doing this so. We are discontiguous, so are unable to route between nodes internally. There are also many access providers who are not announcing the full subset of their routes, so reachability will be a problem. </div>
<div><br></div><div>You may note, all Tier-1 carriers are carrying our routes today and I can see from your looking glass that you are receiving our routes, just filtering. </div><div><br></div><div>I understand you want to protect your routers memory, however, could you install default routes? As I mentioned there are many other parts of the IPv6 table that you'll be missing out on, without either accepting the full table, or a default.</div>

<br>
Then you should have applied for /48 portable address space for all your different regions.<br>
APNIC has a separate address space for this in 2001:0C00:/23<br>
See <a href="http://www.apnic.net/publications/research-and-insights/ip-address-trends/minimum-allocations" target="_blank">http://www.apnic.net/publications/research-and-insights/ip-address-trends/minimum-allocations</a><br>
We strictly filter by minimum allocation polices of the RIR and don't make exceptions.<br>
The problem with just accepting all /48 is that you end up with a lot of unnecessary /48 deaggregations in the table, even if there<br>
would be a covering /32.<br>
<br>
Btw within your AS you should be able to route all your prefixes yourself, otherwise it wouldn't be an autonomous system :)<br>
<br>

While we understand there are some concerns about de-aggergation, aggregation is not possible and we would either be announcing the deaggregated address space from a single assignment, or we'd have multiple assignments for the same purpose, so the impact on the routing table would be the same.<br>
