Re: AS4788 Telecom Malaysia major route leak?

[Raymond Dijkxhoorn <raymond () prolocation net>]

Hai!

Mark, mistakes and oopses happen. No problem at all. I understand that completely. There is human faillure and this 
happenes. 

A simple 'sorry' would have done. Yet their whole message tells 'they did ok' In my very limited view they did NOT ok. 
Did i misread?

I am also very much looking how level3 is going to prevent things like this. But out of own experience they will not. 
We have seen before that they implemented filtering based on customer lists. But not a per customer filter. They did 
this globally. So any l3 customer can announce routes of another l3 customer. While this can be changed this outage 
tells there is certainly room for improvements. 

I hope people will learn from what happened and implement proper filtering. Thats even more important then a message 
from a operator that didnt even understand fully what they caused to the internet globally. 

Thanks,
Raymond Dijkxhoorn
