Re: more-specifics via IX

["Che-Hoo CHENG" <chcheng () ieee org>]

The problem is you're announcing the aggregate prefixes of your customer's
customers to your upstream providers and the traffic from your upstreams to
those networks will be routed through the IX (instead of your customer
connection) because of the longer prefix effect and so you're not charging
the traffic and you're losing revenue!!!

I think in this case, you have to filter all those prefixes learnt from the
IX.
