Re: Routeviews and possible 0/0 route

[Mike Leber <mleber () he net>]

We give a full view of our internal BGP routing table to RouteViews.

Anyway, we normally don't carry 0.0.0.0/0 internally, we've now filtered
it.  We don't normally receive 0.0.0.0/0 on any of our backup transit
sessions, apparently it was configured on a new session by default.
