I was just about to say the same thing. I don't quite think of it
as terrorism, I just think its not nice for someone to decide
part of a net block they're passing the announcements for is being
selectively filtered inside their own network.
the host in question isn't even an above.net client - its a uunet
client.
If you have a problem with it, drop announcing the /16 to customers.
When customers complain about unreachability to a site, tell them
that uunet (note *uunet*, not vuurwerk) are breaking their AUP and
they should complain to uunet. You're still 'protecting' your
customers.
I'd rather get partial announcements than traffic-filtered announcements.
That way, my other network pipes (which hopefully have a path without
above.net in it to vuurwerk) will take over. above.net are happy.
vuurwerk is happy. life is good. no bitching or extra configuration.
(oh, and note: this opinion has nothing to do with my employer,
interpersonal relationships or my opinion of orbs. You might be
surprised how unrelated it is.)
