Re: hijacking of 128.255.192.0/22

Can someone from HE comment on how they are doing their filtering? We often see our routes leaked by them or their 
customers and it’s quite the problem and significantly contributes to the pollution in the routing table. 

Often friends and smaller providers come to me for help and the lack of filtering as well as BGP communities poses 
significant operational issues for networks.
