Time to add 2002::/16 to bogon filters?

Hi Youssef,

My original reply wasn't sent to the Nanog list.

Team Cymru considers 2002::/16  and 192.88.99.0/24  to be legitimate
prefixes at this time, and will be not be adding them to our bogon
filters.  Our interpretation of the 6to4 anycast rfc is that while these
are encouraged to be made obsolete, in practice they may still be in
use, excluding them from being universally defined as a bogon in our feed.

The RFC in question:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7526

The rule, as it always should be, is to know your network, and know what
is best for it.  As noted in the RFC you are encouraged to review any
current deployments and any existing filtering and adjust based on your
own discretion.

Regards,

Gary McArtor
Team Cymru
