Curtis,
The mistakes that I was referring to is the more specifics that *are*
in the IRR and are announced even though there is no good reason to
announce them. If I look throught the routes we accept, there are
quite a few long lists of contiguous /24s with identical ASpaths.
Some of them have aggregates but perhaps the aggregator hasn't
discovered "summary-only".
Ah. So this was the automation Sean was referring to - not
accepting more specifics of routes with identical AS paths.
