I was just wondering if when new members are added to the route server, are there filters setup so that they can only advertise networks that can be verified to be associated with their company via an ARIN WHOIS lookup? Just wondering since prior to connecting, I am concerned about people advertising routes that they might not have connectivity to. I could see someone making a simple mistake in their BGP configuration, and accidentally advertising routes that were not theirs, that then could then be blocked from transiting through their router by an access list that is designed to stop spoofing of their IP addresses. Not to mention possible issues that could come up if someone had some malicious intent to disrupt traffic to a specific netblock. Just wondering if there have been any discussions on this issue?
