zeshoem: In the global routing table, I would not expect anything longer than /48 to work reliably
zeshoem: Most people who do filter, do so down to /48 on ranges for PI allocations, but much shorter on PA since ISPs all get at least /32s and shouldn't need to deaggregate down too small
jdoe: mhoran zeshoem : I'm seeing networks trim it at /48's
Interesting.
up_the_irons: For IPs from PA allocation ranges?
plett: pretty much across the board
ISPs may de-aggregate for many reasons, even with IPv6.  like if I open up an  east coast wing, then I'll have to break up some of my /32 and announce it there
*when ;)
LOL
Dude, I would totally go for an east coast data center.
that's a big revenue line hitting feature
means i should focus on it ;)
I'm in RIPE region, and I think I recall reading that they would rather allocate a second /32 than have us de-aggregate our existing /32
I have yet to try that in practice though
but there are a LOT of dependencies too it, and i'll be focusing on those in the 3rd and 4th quarters of this year
plett: oh, interesting
if i could get another /32 to a 2nd location ,that would be sick
up_the_irons: Yeah. The next 7 /32s after our current one are reserved for our use if we need them
yeah, i found the case to be the same with ARIN (just looking at neighboring ranges; i have not verified if that was actual policy)
If/when RIPE get to the end of their allocations, they'll go back and allocate new LIRs /32s half way between, so there is still a contiguous block of 4 /32s we could use
 /32's are spaced out with 7x in between
right
So far we only announce v6 from one city, so haven't needed to do anything clever with it
what's this? east coast arp? ;-)
East-coast would be perfect for me, it would move my VPS about 40ms closer to me :)
yeah, we only announce our /32 from LA
You'd need good east coast remote-hands to handle hardware faults and racking up new equipment. You wouldn't want to be jumping on a plane every time a disk needs replacing
yeah, lots of people want an east coast facility, but it is way hard / expensive to implement in practice
yeah exactly
invent teleportals.
problem solved.
tooth: That solves the problem of needing an east coast data centre at all. Just run a fibre through the portal and you're instantly 0ms away from the other end ;)
right :)
mmm portals.
