What a terrific idea..., simple & useful

I agree a max-prefix outbound could potentially be useful and would
hopefully not be too terribly difficult to implement for most vendors.

Perhaps RFC4486 would need to be updated to reflect this as a
possibility as well?

Finally, it may be worthwhile exploring if we can standardize and
promote maximum prefix limits applied on the the _sending_ side. This
way you protect your neighbor (and the Internet at large) by
self-destructing when you inadvertently announce more than what you'd
expect to announce. BIRD has this functionality

however I am not aware of other implementations. Feedback welcome!
Having just dug up the reference for some strange reason...

Back at NANOG38 (2006) Tom Scholl mentioned in a talk on max prefix:
"Perhaps maximum-prefix outbound?
(Suggested by Eric Bell years ago)"

Notably Juniper does now have prefix-export-limit, but only for
readvertisement into IS-IS or OSPF:
