6453 routing leaks (January and Today)

Thu Feb 24 21:59:52 UTC 2011

It appears there have been a large number of routing leaks from 6453 today based on my detection scripts that have been running.

(shameless plug for http://puck.nether.net/bgp/leakinfo.cgi)

A quick report of the data show (for today so far) a few thousand of leaks more than is normal for a day like today.  I included a snapshot of yesterday below as well.

I've included a more detailed report of the prefixes observed involved here: 

http://puck.nether.net/~jared/tata-leak-20110224.txt

This seems to be a somewhat common event for 6453, loking through the history of data available, another event happened on 2011-01-28 as well.

I'm interested in what best operational practices people have employed to help avoid the leaks seen here so I can document them for others to learn to prevent this from happening again.
