        Well....  I can announce /27s or even /32s...
        but who will listen?



seems a hack. what if they announce a /24 from your space and they mostly have
shorter path lengths? you still lose...

I am currently announcing only my aggregate routes, but I have lately
thought about the possibility of someone mistakenly, or maliciously,
announcing more specifics from my space.
The best solution for an emergency response to that (that I can think
of), is registering all of the /24's that make up my network, so if
someone should announce a more-specific, I can always announce the most
specific that would be accepted (assuming they don't announce the /24's
too, it should be a problem avoided)

Does anyone else have any other ideas on ways to quickly deal with
someone else announcing your more specifics, since contacting their NOC
is likely going to take a long time...
