For November's NetLdn we have no presentations, but don't worry, it's intentional! Instead we are having an end-of-year party co-hosted with our friends at @lonap.bsky.social
Come join us from 1830hrs on our regular 2nd Thursday of the month (13th Nov), to celebrate the year that's just flown by.

I agree with the overall sentiment of the piece but there are some not very representative assumptions in there.
In this post for @kentik.bsky.social, @jobsnijders.bsky.social and I dig into the problem of excessively large AS-SETs — out of control route objects which can render IRR-based route filtering useless.

I wonder how many 6500s/7600s are still out there, which have a theoretical limit of 1024k prefixes in TCAM, and are about to explode? :D
I see 998964 IPv4 prefixes. This is 132 more prefixes than 6 hours ago and 860 more than a week ago. 61.76% of prefixes are /24.
