Well, if they had problems like this in the past, then I wouldn't
trust them to get it right. Which means that it's probably a good idea
if EVERYONE starts filtering what they allow in their tables from
PCCW. Obviously that makes it very hard for PCCW to start announcing
new prefixes, but I can't muster up much sympathy for that.
So basically, rather than generate routing registry filters for the
entire world, generate routing registry filters for known careless
ASes. This number should be small enough that this is somewhat doable.
(Although better tools for generating the filters would help, I tried
generating filters from the RIPE db a few times but I couldn't figure
it out using available tools and I didn't have the time to write my
own.)
