IXPs can use RPKI ROAs to signal to the world what their intentions are!
IXPs could either create a ROA with an Origin ASN of '0' to suggest to
the world that the peering lan prefix should never be visible in the
DFZ, or they can specify their own services ASN and simply not announce
the prefix. In either case IXPs should carefully specify the Max Length
value to be the same as the Prefix Length value of the peering lan
prefix.
