Doesn't matter whether _you_ agree with it or not. The point is that there<br>
is a nontrivial although unspecified number of service providers who filter<br>
along RIR allocation sizes. Unless a supernet is advertised with<br>
connectivity back to the each of the smaller subnets, connectivity to those<br>
subnets will be arbitrarily spotty.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The point of the thread I've felt to be slightly different, that's where we are yes - it's the current state of play. </div><div>I'd rather discuss can we enact change or work together as a collective to find a suitable a generally agreed BCP middle ground? RIPE-532 seems to be that BCP middle ground, yet there is disagreement around it's definition and application - the result being what you've described.</div>
