You should not condemn the global table because C&W leaks specifics to their customers.
Those other routes - like 64/8, AS7046, etc. - *are* on the global table and should be cleaned up. But no one seems to care about that any more.
I find it amusing that some people who argue against micro-allocations say nothing about this added waste. Hypocrisy always amuses me. (It has to or it would piss me off.)
>Some providers (some of our other transits) provide a cleaner table.They probably put the same "sanity" filters on their customers that they put on their peers. I used to do that (when I had enable :).

I know if I keep this up, I will loose it :)Got it, configured a few routers, changed positions, lost it. Now I go around buying other ISPs instead of configuring routers on my own network.
Am I automatically wrong because I do not have enable? Many probably think so. Maybe they are right. :)
