Re: [nznog] Hello Hurricane Electric, doubling the size of our domestic table?

They did notify, "months ago" back in June... (as below) and again yesterday. ------------------------------- Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 at 11:30 Subject: Re: [Megaport Auckland IX] Upcoming large increase in prefixes from MegaIX Auckland Route Servers To: Hi AKL peers, Just a reminder regarding the increase of prefixes from the MegaIX Auckland Route Servers mentioned below. We are expecting the increase to occur in the next few days depending on peer turn-up schedule. Gavin On Fri, 29 Jun 2018 at 07:54, Gavin Tweedie wrote:

Hi Auckland Peers,

Please be aware that soon(ish) we are expecting an increase in prefixes on the Auckland MegaIX Route Servers driven by Hurricane Electric (AS6939) https://peeringdb.com/net/291 connecting to the IX within the next 60 days.

If you set a maximum prefix (MaxPFX) limit on the BGP neighbours with our route servers or if you have other limitations in terms of prefixes you can receive from the route server you should start preparing.

Our new recommended MaxPFX setting is always maintained in route-server peeringdb entries (Auckland @ https://peeringdb.com/net/12814) in case you automate this.

For reference our Auckland Route servers are AS63839,

43.243.22.1 & 43.243.22.2

2001:dea:0:40::1 & 2001:dea:0:40::2

The new recommended minimum MaxPFX settings are,

IPv4 65,000

IPv6 35,000

If you are not sure if your router is able to handle such a large table I would recommend filtering by AS-Path routes received from AS6939 from the route server while you investigate it so that you can experiment in a window that suits you, not just when the routes show up.

If you require any assistance please feel free to reach out to myself or our NOC team via our portal live chat or via email at support(a)megaport.com

Gavin

Megaport AKL emailed their customers multiple times about HE turning up their services.

NZIX also emailed.

So I assume its just 'domestic' transit providers that maybe aren't notifying us?

I don't think this is the right way to look at it. Those routes are going to end up in everyone's "domestic" feeds. HE should have been here on NZNOG months ago making sure everyone was OK with this and ready.

Nobody is running a 10x safety margin on their BGP limits...
